Most times it is very simple to distinguish a male bird from a female bird, the male is usually more colorful than its counterpart. #Mother #Nature once again has its reasons for what it does. In this situation male birds have the more colorful bodies to attract a predator that may be threatening a nest. I've chosen to show a few pictures of what I believe to be a male Mourning Dove.
In doing a little investigating the one big difference between male and female Mourning Doves is that the male has a blue-tinted crown and nape, and a pink-tinted throat and breast, while female has a gray-brown crown and browner throat and breast.
We have many Mourning Doves in our neck of the woods and most times they're sporting the colors of a male.
A big thank you to @melinda010100 @barbara-orenya and @nelinoeva for this week's contest.
