PLANT COMMUNITIES : 
The mourning dove occupies a broad range of plant communities including
desert areas, open mixed woodlands and wood edges, farm and ranchlands,
shelterbelts, and grasslands [6,7,18].  They are often attracted to
disturbed areas supporting annual weedy plant species [16].  In
California, mourning doves breed from the blue oak (Quercus douglasii)
to the Jeffery pine (Pinus jeffreyi) zone [22].
