Habitat:

• Open lands including prairies and open forest as well as suburban areas, but they tend to avoid dense shrubby areas.
• Found close to scattered seeds which make up the majority of the diet but will also eat weeds, grass and some insects.

Notes:

• Voice is a mournful “cooo-hoo, coo, oo, oo.”
• Similar to white-winged dove, but has a pointed tail and no white wing patches.
• Builds shallow, poorly constructed nests on horizontal branches of trees and shrubs.
