I am familiar with Mourning Doves. I think I always thought they were called Morning Doves, but I learned otherwise and I am guessing their plaintive call is the explanation for their name.
There are plenty of doves in Hawaii and when people feed the birds (not to be recommended), you see hundreds of doves at a time. One landed on the table next to me and I got a good photo.
My iPhone automatically identifies some categories of images and birds are among those identified. This is called a Zebra Dove. The name makes sense because of the stripes. The other dove we see a lot has dots around the neck.
