I've had anywhere from three to fourteen Mourning Doves around the ground seed. It depends on what I put out or what others are doing I supose. Perhaps with more people feeding birds they have remained scattered at home feeding sites instead of flocking? The largest numbers I have seen this winter are on gravel areas. - Mariel Mariel Stephenson Columbia, Mo [log in to unmask] 573 442 1725 ------------------------------------------------------------ The Audubon Society of Missouri's Wild Bird Discussion Forum ASM Website: http://mobirds.org/
