The Mourning Dove is different from other doves primarily because of its pointed tail with large white spots. It has a hollow, mournful song and its range extends from southeast Alaska to Panama. It lives primarily in farmland, towns, open woods and grasslands.
Photographed in central Minnesota, this mature bald eagle supervises its two chicks while the make eagle searches for fish to feed the family. Eagles thrive on fish and typically perch on the tops of tall trees along the shoreline of lakes and rivers. Immature eagles are often mistaken for hawks, as they don’t develop the white head and legs until they turn 3-4 years old.
Looking equally stern and cautious, a Tricolored Heron surveys its surroundings in the Hilton Head National Wildlife Refuge in South Carolina. Tricolored Herons typically live in and around salt and fresh-water environments, have wingspans up to six feet and fly approximately 25 mph.
