Two photos of a Eurasian Collared-Dove in Oakville taken by Enver Domingo can be found at www.ofo.ca/photos
There is some discussion about whether this bird might be a Ringed Turtle-Dove which is not a naturally occurring species, but is kept as a pet. This bird is very pale. See the web page for more comments. However, Eurasian Collared Doves are spreading rapidly in North America from a base in Florida which they reached from the Carribean. I myself saw a few in a town ( I think it was Waverley) just south west of Springfield, Illinois in June this year. They looked and behaved very much at home.
