Notes ⁴

Common. Tend to hang out in pairs or small groups and to stare at you like you've caught them doing something illegal. Dusky pink/brown with a long, pointed tail and black spots on the backs of the wings. Call is that sleepy coo-WOO, ooo, ooo, ooo: http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Mourning_Dove/sounds
And their wings make a loud sound when they take off.
