I'm in southeast Michigan and year 2018 is ending. Last time i heard mourning dove's 'mourning call' was in late august, though they all do come to our patio to eat grain regularly. I'm wondering if its possible that some of them communicated among themselves that some people (humans) consider their calls as melancholy to their moods and doves eventually (learnt to) stop them. I'm anxious to know if anyone else observes that.
