Mother dove has been observed roosting in the community feeder for over an hour.
A brash young house swallow claimed a tiny corner to feed. Both birds look to the human for conflict resolution services.

A mourning dove and house finch both female are in a covered platform feeder. They are facing each other from opposite sides. Suddenly their peace is interrupted by a male mourning dove hovering above.
