THE Mourning Dove is one of America's most appreciated and heavily hunted birds. Its soft, melodious voice, reminiscent of America's lovely countrysides, sings of spring and summer from southern Canada to southern Mexico, and across America from ocean to ocean. This is a story of the successes and tragedies in the life of one bird, his families and friends, drawn from knowledge of the fates of birds from over 5,000 nests. Dr. Elliott McClure, ornithologist, entomologist, and conservationist, spins this true story from his 70 years of experience with the natural world. A well known scientist and author, his writings provide insight into the meaningful behavior of wild birds.
