More Spring Birds!

Over the weekend, I heard the first Mourning Dove of the year.  It is such a beautiful call.  It reminds me of waiting for the bus when I was growing up.  As we stood there waiting, we could often hear their call.
This morning I saw three Kingfishers on the way to school!  They were perched on the electric lines over the open water.  This one (taken from the web) is just ready to start his nose dive.    They also hang along the banks of the lake fishing along the shore.  I can't say for sure but I think they nest in holes along the clay banks like the swallows.  I see them often when I am kayaking.
