Perfect for bird lovers, nature enthusiasts, and anyone curious about the wildlife living right outside their window.

This small book is a big delight for anyone who has enjoyed watching mourning doves in their yards or neighborhoods. Demi Naito watched them closely enough to see the bonds they form and break with each other, the care they give to the next generation, and the scuffles they have with other bird species. Despite their unassuming appearance and behavior, mourning doves have lives and relationships that are complex and fascinating.
This is absolutely wonderful! Thank you so much!
I love the meaning and significance behind the book! I discovered it after receiving visits from my own mourning dove. She and this book are amazing!!
