The Mafia birds return

The Mafia birds a.k.a. white-winged doves returned last week. It's hard to believe that a bird would consider Arizona its summer hang-out, but these birds disappear from Arizona in the fall, and arrive about the time Saguaro seeds are back on the menu.



They're bullies at the bird feeder (hence my nick-name for them). They also like to stick their butts in my water fountain creating their own bird bidet.
