Hi, Today on our upper deck in western Pataskala (Licking County) were two beautiful mourning doves. Either they were mates or were courting. I was rushing out the door and it was a delight to stop for a minute and watch them. And I did not need my new Nikon Action 10 x 50 binoculars. cheers, judojoe joe d phillips columbus & pataskala ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
