Persistent Memories


One of my most persistent memories is the sound of Mourning Doves. The Mourning Dove (Zenaida Macroura) is found all over North America into southern Canada, including down into Central America to Panama. Almost every morning, during the hot summers in Arizona when we had our windows open, I could hear the Mourning Doves with their distinctive calls. We had our windows open because we had swamp coolers and that's what you do when you have a swamp cooler to allow the air to blow out the windows.
