Inca doves are native to Mexico and Central America. In the US they are found along the southern border of Mexico in California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. They live in arid climates where they eat seeds that they find primarily by foraging on the ground.Inca doves will sometimes roost by standing on top of one another like a pyramid. This behavior is similar to the Harris Hawk in the last post that will also perch on one another.

I learned some things! And totally enjoyed the photos of this wonderful-looking dove! Great shots!
a beautiful looking dove
What pretty little doves. Great pictures.
Inca Doves are pretty epic. I love them with all of my heart. Here in Tucson, they have all but disappeared. In nearby Phoenix, there are many but their populations seem to be in slight decline. We believe that the expanding Cooper's Hawks may be responsible for their demise:(
interesting patterns and colours on the Inca dove.
Well named bird!
