I've been watching White-winged Doves come to our feeders. I'm struck with
the amount of tail bobbing these birds do. I have looked at several field
guides and website to discover any information about this behavior. I have
struck out.
I'm wondering if the birds are bobbing to balance themselves on the bar
where our feeders are hung. I would appreciate any information/wisdom
others of you have about this.
