---244526598-1948008785-1359628106=:72812 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Yesterday, before the showers began, several Mourning Doves landed on the woodstove ash dumped on the snow the day before and appeared to be pecking at it for about 5 minutes. I had not seen this before and thought they might have mistaken them for food. But then why remain so long in the ashes? A brief search suggested birds may eat ashes for minerals and some websites recommend allowing poultry access to wood ash. Has anyone else seen this?
