Spider setting up camp over Mamma Mourning dove and her two babies.
Does this spider know that Mourning Doves are granivores? I didn’t know this…
Unlike other songbirds of summer, Mourning Doves don’t have an appetite for insects, spiders and creepy crawlies. They’re almost 100% granivores, going for the grains, seeds from wild grasses, weeds and herbs. They’ll also grab the occasional berry or snail.
