Alamogordo: Nesting Doves


My neighborhood abounds with doves. Some I know to be mourning doves by their call; others I don't know.

I admire these trees, which I'll refer to as palm yuccas (perhaps they are yucca faxonia). They can shelter scores of small birds, who hide within the greenery completely; you only know they're inside because of their chatter.
