Mourning Dove (Zenaida macroura): A common, native bird found across North America. This is a medium sized bird with a light brownish-gray body, long tail with white tips and sometimes a slightly iridescent coloration on the back of the neck. They are widespread and common in suburban areas and on agricultural land.
I saw (and identified) my first Mourning Dove in the USF garden and have seen many more since. It is one of the few birds that I can somewhat identify by it's voice.
