A homeowner has phoned me to report seeing a dove with white wing flashes take off from under their feeders around 12:00 pm today. This person and family have seen this bird multiple times over the last few days feeding with the mourning doves, so it’s highly probable this is the white-winged dove. The homeowner has agreed to have me report that the bird was observed flying in a North easterly direction towards the intersection of Cross Avenue and Circle Place which is one block north of Dunrobin Ave where the bird was first reported Sat May 26th. The homeowner also offered the observation that someone to the east of the above intersection seems to be feeding the pigeons that are seen perched on wires near Harding Road, so this also could be attractive to the bird.
Good luck and good birding.
