Eurasian Collared Dove

I've come to realize that where harmony is concerned, 

more can be achieved with less color. 

Scott L. Christensen

I don't see these Eurasian Collared Doves very often.  They are MUCH larger than

a Mourning Dove and have quite a different sound as well.

Listen with ears of tolerance! 

 See through the eyes of compassion! 

 Speak with the language of love.

Nest Building Mourning Dove

"Gentle Spring's around the corner, 

Waiting just to show her face 

And to bring us flowers and sunshine; 

Winter's almost run his race! 

Be not, then, my friends, discouraged 

That there's cold and ice and sleet; 

For Springtime soon will be with us, 

And the flowers we will greet: 

Daffodils, so bright and yellow, 

Hyacinths of varied hues, 

As they nod their heads, in gladness, 

Telling us they bring good news..." 

~ Gertrude Tooley Buckingham

On The Wings Of A Snow White Dove

On the wings of a snow-white dove. 

He sends His pure sweet love. 

A sign from above. 

On the wings of a dove.

This was a country gospel song that my mom used to sing to me when I was a little girl.  In my research

I've found that a lot of artists have recorded this song, but I believe I am correct with it being written by Bob Ferguson.

Do you remember this old song?
