Mourning Doves in Ribera, NM The mourning dove (Zenaida macroura) is a member of the dove family, Columbidae. The bird is also known as the American mourning dove or the rain dove, and colloquially as the turtle dove, and was once known as the Carolina pigeon or Carolina turtledove. It is one of the most abundant and widespread of all North American birds. I took these photos in my former home in Ribera, New Mexico. #MourningDoves #MourningDove #NewMexicoBirds #PlaintiveCall #AmericanMourningDove #RainDove https://www.instagram.com/p/CDKAz1mlC7s/?igshid=1g1aqpe40fivq
