Bird
The Mourning Dove is found throughout California. It is found in the desert in the summer (not in winter). These birds are probably able to survive the deserts in summer because they spend most of their time on the ground where the temperatures are cooler and they are protected from the harsh desert winds. They move out of higher elevations in winter as snow prevents them from foraging on the ground.
- The Mourning Dove prefers areas with bare ground between their favorite herbs. They like to be able to see predators and it is easier to find seeds on bare ground
- Overview
Distinctive with its buffy-pink plumage and black neck collar, it is usually seen singly or in pairs, although flocks may form where food is plentiful. It feeds on the ground but readily perches on roofs and wires. After rapidly spreading across Europe in the early half of the 20th century, the collared dove is now one of our most common birds and its monotonous cooing is a familiar sound.

Salam Mohamad,
the tree is very beautiful and the bird is equally so.
Sharper image of the bird would make it more captivating and exciting.
anyway it is still pleasant shot.

Foozi
