I never expected to have Mourning Dove egg in the collection. I have a Dove that lays eggs every year in my big blue spruce tree, and have hoped that, maybe, as she was cleaning out her nest I would find a broken one, mostly complete, but would never have taken one from her nest. I didn't have to. As hubby was crawling in the attic of the Central Denver Presbyterian Church, he and the building engineer found this in a rafter. Not knowing what to do with it, the engineer almost threw it away, but hubby brought it home, thinking it was probably pigeon. Nope. It's definitely Mourning Dove. It's dirty, I've washed it a few times, and I may try one more time, but I'm totally tickled to have this one in the collection.
