The following image of a Mourning Dove was taken quite early in my backyard. I took this photo actually from behind glass from our living room window where we often see many different birds gathering.  I can always tell when the Mourning Doves are near by their cooing and this one landed right in front of my eyes.  We see them year round and often in pairs. They do tend to dominate this old wooden table but often we see them sharing seeds on the ground with Cardinals and Grackles.  Occasionally, I see them on telephone wires resting along with taking rests on some large oak trees near us.
