This pair of Morning Doves was happily browsing on the ground and then perching on a low wooden rail fence at the beautiful little Four Oaks Park on Morse Ave. in The Villages, Florida. I spotted the serene doves on Sunday afternoon during a quick golf cart visit to the park and nearby Lake Sumter. The park is only accessible by cart, on foot, or by bike via the multi-modal path.
The doves were cooing and seemed quite tame. I think they also like those White Ibises and ducks, get lots of hand-outs from residents and visitors. This little park is a gem that also has a small observation deck overlooking the Lake Sumter marshes. During the visit I also spotted a Little Blue Heron, a Palm Warbler, and an Osprey. It was a nice quick visit! Please click on the thumbnail image to see the slightly larger picture. Enjoy!

so sweet.
Hi Tex, I so agree! I am very tender-hearted about the doves. Have a wonderful Thursday tomorrow!
I have doves that visit here often in the summer, and love to hear their calls! Several have already come back so far.
Hi Montucky, Great news that you have doves there. They are great birds. I like hearing them. Have a wonderful day tomorrow!
