Richardson 1937 Morning Dove (Zenaida macroura) May 25, 1937 north 20 mile Creek, Warner Valley, Oregon - This species is quite abundant as at least 35 were seen during the day. About 20 were seen feeding on a small dirt road at about 5:15 P.M. This would indicate that either this species is not breeding yet or that they have communal feeding grounds even when breeding. The lateness of the year seems to imply breeding but inclement weather may have postponed breeding. At least 6 single birds have been seen during the day - going either up or down the canyon. May 26, 1937 As above. Doves were more closely no- ticed today. Some were seen to be paired. It seems probable that this species is just beginning its breeding - that birds are now becoming paired.
