Our Patio Dove Has Finally Flown Away 1 comment
Our Patio Dove Has Flown — Image by kenne
It’s been a two weeks since this dove flew into our patio door. She was stunned, so I approached her to see if she could still fly.
She walked away but didn’t fly. I later realized that she may have injured her left wing. Since then, I have been making sure
she has seeds and water. She instinctively protects herself by staying in a prickly pear cactus; when leaving the cactus,
she only walks around the edge of the patio wall.
In recent days she has increased her attempts to fly. Yesterday she was getting two feet off the ground.
The patio wall varies in height from four to seven feet, so she knew where to practice getting up on the wall.
I didn’t see fly over the wall, I only know she has left the patio.

Signs Of May In Tucson Leave a comment
Palo Verde Blossoms and White-winged Dove Atop a Saguaro — Image by kenne
There are many signs of May being here; however, two really stand out: (1) Yellow Palo Verde Blossoms are everywhere;
(2) have arrived and a ready to be a pollinator for the Saguaro cacti. When saguaros flower, white-winged doves move
from flower to flower, sipping nectar and pollinating the plant. Once the flowers become fruit, the doves have a new food source.
