But its difficult knowing they are all hers.. I just caught the tail end of it while having a beer and a smoke on the porch...

AT LEAST 1000 IN A PASS BY...

All whitewing....

My driveway is in the back of my house. I put out feed on the driveway year around, I currently have about 30 or so white wings coming in each morning and evening. Also a few mourning doves as well. Last week there were 3 of the small mexican doves. It's pretty cool to see 3 different species of dove together. Most of the white wings head out each year when it turns colder, but a few hang around all year. Every summer though there are a big group that stay around the house to eat. I'll try to get some pics if I can.

Also I have 3 feeders out for the hummers, and there are about 7, or 8 of them buzzing around currently.

p.s. The day after the hurricane they were all back looking for something to eat....I'd love to know where the heck they all hunkered down during the storm !

It's funny how you change as you get older. I'm 50 now, but when I was 20 I would have wanted to kill them all. Now I just enjoy sitting drinking a cold one, and watching them....lol

The older I get the less I want to kill things but it doesn't bother me that others do.

 

[JOHNNY QUEST]

whitewings

I have been hunting at our place in south texas for almost 30 years, since I was old enough to walk...the first time I can remember somone knocking down a white wing was about 15 years ago...since then, a few here and there, although large numbers of them were shot just miles away, we still had mostly mourning dove...this year on opening weekend, we saw and shot more whitewing than i have ever seen....I think they are most definitely taking over!
