Mourning dove call
https://www.bird-sounds.net/mourning-dove/

It's so nice to be able to listen to the lovely calls every morning. I don't know how many I have been blessed with here on the farm but I can hear them from different directions as I move around the house. There's something very sweet and peaceful about the sound.

Have you ever heard the call of a Mourning dove? Where were you?
