Wow! So minutes ago, I , with my son, were looking at our kitchen window and a mourning Dove, in flight, was looking at us through the kitchen window. What a spectacular sight! ( this was the closest image I could find to what we saw.)
Symbolically, this bird can be associated with mourning and sorrow, but these birds can be viewed as both spiritual and hopeful. Mourning Doves , as well as Doves, are considered a universal symbol of peace.
When the mourning dove visits you, it gives a message of encouragement and hope.
Doves are widely recognized as symbols of peace, love and hope. They represent purity and spiritual guidance. Their gentle nature and soothing presence often make them a sign of comfort and reassurance.
I love the call of the mourning dove and I hear/ see them often in around my backyard and home. I will call back to them too. They always give me a sense of peace.
Here’s a picture that I took of a Mourning Dove on my neighbor’s awning.
