Mourning doves.

They weren't named for the time of the day but the call they make which is similar to a person in mourning. There isn't much to the pigeon like birds but strangely enough there is a hunting season on them in the fall at least in Va.. You can kill a maximum of 25 in a day which might make a decent meal if you could take the bird shot out of the things.

I've popped many a dove breast after a hunt. I always used #6 shot on them, instead of # 71/2 shot as most hunters use.

I have them lined up every morning for when I toss out seed. I like hearing them.

Baiting and shooting the things off wires seems to be the accepted hunting practice.

I had a real good place near a 3-acre pond and dusting area. It was easy to limit-out there for the first few days.
