I had to go and look at the cedar waxwing - what a beauty! DM - if you Google Images "birds of Georgia" you might find your "dove". |

Brilliant idea angie .. the sun must be melting my brain! Why didn't I think of that?  I've looked and I think it might have been as simple as a mockingbird. Thanks for your help everyone |

Ummm ........ mockers aren't flocking birds at all, they're highly territorial. You rarely ever see anything but a mated pair. They have a distinctive white patch on their wings when they fly. But the song is definitely very melodious, they are our equivalent of the nightingale .... Here's the mocker: http://www.google.com/images?q=tbn:n...ngbird_web.jpg |

No DM -it was the cedar birds who were the gang; the mystery bird was on the grass verge with his/her mate. It sang its tune and I tried to respond and it corrected my version. It semed quite unfazed by our proximity - again maybe a function of so few folks on foot? |

Oh sorry! I was confusing him with the waxwings, which do flock. Must have been the mocker, they're quite fearless around people...the one at Moli's in Houston even came in the room! I'm glad you got to hear his song, lovely, isn't it? They often sing in the night when the moon is full. |
