White-winged doves arrive on schedule (Tax time)

Stevie Nicks, an Arizona native, crooned about the white-winged dove in her song Edge of Seventeen, the third hit from her 1981 solo debut album Bella Donna.

Although these doves were made famous by her song, they are pigs and bullies at the feeders. They usually arrive in late March or early April, and this year was no different. I spotted the first one today. That gives them yet another reason to earn their "Mafia bird" standing.
