What is this Bird? A morning dove maybe it sat up there on that branch for the longest time and it was wayyyyyyy up there, in the tree I had to put the camera on landscape shot

That IS a dove, but NOT a Mourning Dove. That is a White-Winged Dove a very common Texas bird but NOT found in Tennessee where I live at all. When I lived in Texas, LONG before I was a birder, I remember seeing these doves a lot. I also saw Scissor-Tailed Flycatchers and Roadrunners in Texas. About 5 years ago, Armadilloes started appearing here in Tennessee and are rapidly increasing in numbers. They do WELL in our climate. I've personally seen two in the wilds myself in the last 5 years here in Tennessee.
