Bob Alexander 
My Mockingbird gets up with the sun and I awake with a tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet and a final tweet before he takes a breath to start the concert again with the same five notes. It's a wonderful way to greet a new day.

We have a pet, mated pair of doves. Well, not really, but it feels that way. Every spring, a pair of doves would try to make a nest on a very small ledge on a post next to our front door.
