We get a lot of invited and uninvited guests in the greenhouse. Here is one visitor who decided to drop by…
… a Mourning Dove. Yes, the same bird that many hunters like to shoot. Looks calm doesn’t he? He seemed resigned to the fact that he was caught.
You know that old saying: “People who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones”?…well that goes double for people, greenhouses and shot-guns 
Actually, I wouldn’t shoot this guy anyway, he was just curious as to what was going on inside.
Mourning Doves don’t seem to be able to grasp the concept of glass as quickly as other birds we get in the greenhouse. That’s probably why I was able to catch him by hand so easily.
We often get other birds in the greenhouse: House Sparrows, Robins, Humming Birds… this was the first Mourning Dove.
The story has a happy ending: I let him go outside.
