#Dove April 15

In April 2025, many of us are joining the 30-Day Nature Observation Challenge. Each day, the goal is to share an observation—a plant, animal, or sound—experienced while spending time outdoors. Wise individuals have noted that observing nature enhances mindfulness, reduces stress, and deepens our appreciation for life’s interconnectedness—a challenge well worth accepting.
Today my observation was listening to a DOVE.
As we embark on our 64th consecutive monthly challenge, Jeff Neelon, Jaclyn Donovan, and I feel ready to inspire others to join us. Step outside and let nature awaken your senses—breathe in the fresh air, feel the warmth of the sun, and listen as the world comes alive. Every moment outdoors is a chance to reset, recharge, and reconnect with the beauty around you
Nature Observation 30-Day Challenge Guidelines
As with previous challenges, participants are encouraged to adapt the guidelines to fit their own circumstances. Commit to spending time outdoors for the next 30 days, observing a new plant, animal, or sound each day.
- Record your observations to track your journey.
- Share your findings with a challenge partner if you have one.
- Join the conversation by posting on social media with the hashtag #Coach4adayChallenge
Observation #15-Dove
My goal today was to sit quietly and listen to the sounds of a Mourning Dove. Let’s set the record straight—it’s Mourning Dove, not Morning Dove. While its soft, cooing call is most often heard in the early hours of the day, the name actually comes from the mournful, sorrowful quality of its song.
This game bird is one of the most popular game birds in the State of NC.
Here is a picture of a dove on the ground hunting seeds.
Tried to capture the audio of them cooing but recording was not very good. Here is an online link.
