Mourning Dove: Wednesday, May 31, I flushed up two Mourning Doves from the 
foundation of my house.  There was a young dove there, full-sized, nicely 
feathered with just a bit of down, but no visible long tail feathers or 
primaries.  We stayed away from the front of the house after that, checked 
frequently thru a nearby window, watched the young bird mature and grow flight 
feathers.  One adult was with the young bird most of the time thru the last 
check yesterday evening, Tuesday, April 6, one week.  This morning they were 
gone.  There was no evidence of violence.  I climbed the one nearby tree, White 
Pine, and found a minimal nest about 12 feet up.  

Eurasian Collared-Dove: 2, feeding with Mourning Doves, Common Grackles and 
House Sparrows at the Chattanooga Zoo.
