Hi cobirders Eurasian Collared Doves are the "poster bird of the
week" They got lots of posts.
I remember well to add them to my annual list going down to Rocky
Ford where they hung out for years.
When I couldn't go one showed up in Arvada and the birder invited
Shirley and I to come and see it.
She moved away and I wished one would come my feeders. In 2007 one
or two came in the spring.
By the fall of 2008 25 came to my yard.
Several years ago I heard in bed the distinctive call of Arizona's
White-winged Dove. When I got up
there it was on a wire only it was all white. A neighbor on the
next street kept homing pigeons and
also had other birds from time to time like peacock and guinea fowl.
Recently birders up this way have been getting White-winged Doves in
their yard. On the Jan. 29
DFO trip we counted about 30 White-wing Doves hanging out in one area
of a subdivision in Pueblo.
I thought it would be nice to get one in my yard. On second thought
NO! Got to be careful what
you wish for.
