PASabreFan Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 MIlt wouldn't have just said "7," I don't think. Not as sure about the next comment, but wasn't it "assisted by..."? Anywho... The mourning dove, the Milt Ellis of calling birds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X. Benedict Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 Milt Ellis: My 24 year old, well-seasoned, cast-iron frying pan. Imbues a nice flavor in everything, dependable. Goes from range to the oven. I've been tempted by other pans, with their no-stick, easy-cleaning excitement. But the flavor is never the same. I keep coming back to the tried and true. Everything that comes out of that pan just tastes better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything that comes out of that pan just tastes better. No fair. I didn't think I was allowed expound on why the mourning dove is the Milt Ellis of calling birds. Its call is smooth, predictable, comforting. It tells you everything you need to know without a hint of sing-songy pretentiousness. They are reliable and perennial, returning every spring on almost the same date. And everyone can imitate them.

That Aud Smell Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 I was going to proffer a really well-made pair of raw denim jeans and a classic wool sweater from L.L. Bean. I've owned the former for a little over 10 years and the latter for maybe twice as long -- and they're both just marvelously reliable -- comfortable and comforting. But after the seasoned pan and the mourning dove, I don't know what there is left to say. Especially the mourning dove. Love that bit about how everyone can imitate one. And I just realized ... I've often thought that the call of the mourning dove was also a loon call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've often thought that the call of the mourning dove was also a loon call. The loon... that's Jeanneret. I guess they're somewhat similar. Now, the mourning dove does make a dramatic sound when it's taking off and landing, I believe to frighten any predators. It's a high pitched whistling — and I just read it's actually the fluttering of the wings, not a vocalization. I think you nailed it with the possible exception of "First Buffalo Goal"....but memories are fickle creatures... I wondered about that as well.

Cereal Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 The loon... that's Jeanneret. I guess they're somewhat similar. I went canoe-camping at La Mauricie National Park in Quebec a couple weeks ago. Saw many loons with their fierce red eyes on the beautiful lakes. Their glorious wails can be very loud.. they can be mistaken for a coyote's! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was little, he taught me that. It took me months to actually do it. You're talking about cupping your hands and blowing on the slit between your thumbs, right?
