Good land management Stan and congratulations on your cover crops. Yes doves regularly nest on the ground around here also. I'm a big fan of no-till and minimum-till and know first hand of it's benefit for wildlife. And nice not seeing the ditches with black topsoil blown in like was so common during the old summerfallow days. Even this year we had many newly-seeded fields eroding so bad it created zero visibility for drivers, so there are still some serious problems with conventional tillage, at least up here in the grain belt. I still worry about the effects of ag chemicals, especially as weeds develop resistance to them. As they say "Mother Nature always bats last."
