RE: April wildlife observations in south-eastern Pennsylvania: repeated encounters with small animals
Good question! I have also wondered this, but I never looked it up until you mentioned it.
It turns out that the "mourning dove" gets its name because its call sounds sorrowful.
Meanwhile, the cardinal gets its name because the red coloring resembles the Cardinals' robes in the Catholic church and the feathers resemble the hat (Galero) and tassles that the Catholic Cardinals wear.
Interesting background. I will try to look for its sound on Youtube.
I wonder if there's a priest bird. hehe...
I like blue jay's color and pattern. It's so beautiful, unreal too
