Whoops, my bad, I thought the audio file was a recording of a mourning dove, not a reading of it, haha. http://identify.whatbird.com/obj/163/_/Mourning_Dove.aspx Here's a page with an actual recording!
Mourning doves have a very distinctive call... if you listen to the file at the bottom of the wikipedia page, you'll probably recognize it. I love listening to them in the mornings and evenings. :)
