Mourning Doves are light grey and brown and generally muted in color. Males and females are similar in appearance. In flight, white band is present on the tip of their tails. The species is generally monogamous, with two squabs (young) per brood. Both parents incubate and care for the young. Mourning Doves eat almost exclusively seeds, but the young are fed crop milk by their parents. This species' call is a distinctive, plaintive cooOOoo-woo-woo-woooo, uttered by males to attract a mate. The Mourning Dove is considered to be the most closely related species to the Passenger Pigeon (Ectopistes migratorius), which was hunted to extinction in the early 1900s.

Lotsa trash here, I guess it flies out as folks go around the corner. Everything is in good shape with the cache. Thanks for the smiley! Find #3546.

I decided to start the Memorial Day weekend with a little caching run. Headed out this way to cross some degrees off the list for the Colorado 360 challenge. I'm down to about 100 now and I'm itching to whittle that down even further. Beautiful day to be outside, started in the low 70's and ended in the mid 60's. Little bit of muggle traffic here and there, but nothing too bad. Thanks to all the COs for putting these out for us to enjoy.

Its been a long hot summer in Texas, I've been trying to get out and do a caching trip a couple of times this summer, but it never worked out. Finally managed to get a week off, and am so happy to be out here in Colorado. The weather if perfect, and there is a load of caches that need my name on Thanks so much for the hide imusttravel2000, I really enjoyed finiding this cache!

Enjoying another day traversing the countryside, acquiring many miles and boosting cache numbers and others in between along the power trails!
Nothing better than caching along the back country roads of America! Thanks for placing these out here. Most were in good shape in these sections however i did replaced wet logs and broken containers as needed. Initialed logs
