I did not actually see it but I have seen many morning doves in Nevada and out west. I have seen some here as well and I am very used to their sound. It is similar to an owl although not as loud. Next time I hear it here I will go outside and see.. I do not see too many pigeons where I live. It is perculiar but they seem to favor more crowded areas where human food is...Like well used parks.

The dove’s singing or cooing is very mournful, possibly reflecting hidden emotions within. The singing can be heard throughout the day, as well as first thing in the morning and last thing at night. According to mystical and magical traditions which state that the veils between the physical and spiritual worlds are at their thinnest during these times of the day.'
I usually here these creatures early in the morning and they often inspire me to meditate. There gentle coo coo seems to be a voice from spirit to help calm the thoughts and awaken more subtle levels of awareness.
'A dove helps to soothe and to quiet our worries and your troubled thoughts. Regardless of the external circumstances going on in our life, peace is always within our reach. The Dove will help us to find renewal in the stillness of your mind through meditation and deep breathing.
