Last week Donna Foyle captured two mourning doves having a silent conversation.

They seemed to be sitting together peacefully but their rumpled feathers indicate something is up.

One of them stretched his right leg and tail.

The other one stretched, too.

But stretching the tail requires raising a wing and wing-raising is an aggressive move among mourning doves.

Uh oh!  Now they’re both upset.

“What are you doing?  Are you mocking me?”
