Amundson, Rod

Abstract:

From March to September the melodic cooing of a mourning dove can be heard across the state. The bird is a joy to birders and a target for hunters. It is also the only game bird that breeds in all forty-eight continental states. Amundson discusses the dove's history, characteristics, breeding and food habits, enemies, and migration patterns.
