LOL, they can make a racket. Sound like little jets coming in.
forgive me I've told this before, but it reminded me. So we have a little sitting area on the back porch by the pool and I mounted a TV on the back wall. Inevitably mourning doves built a nest on the wall bracket behind the TV. Doing what doves do, you can hear them inside as there are a row of big windows so you see out to the yard, etc.
I take the nest down, they come back. Repeat. Son's on the couch and hears them coo'ing.
"damn owls are back Dad"
What?
The owls, on the back porch, I always hear them. I'm like buddy......those are doves, not owls. He's looks it up, then is like....."my bad"
I forget he didn't spend weeks every summer and over the Holidays at the ranch growing up like I did. I got shipped off ala boarding school and got put to work, but also spent so much time outside I can damn near recognize by sight and sound most Texas birds/animals. I still give him shit about that.
