[email protected] Re: EC Doves becoming nuisance birds Hi all:
When I relocated from Colorado to Florida back in 2003 I had not yet observed EUCD in CO. At the time I had first and only found EUCD at Goodland, KS and that was in 1997. I hadn’t been to the Arkansas Valley at the time to observe these birds. Of course here in Central FL – St. Pete - these guys are way too abundant and they are nasty mess makers at that. I found this bit of info at Wikipedia online: It was introduced into the Bahamas in the 1970s and spread to Florida by 1982. Its stronghold in North America is still the Gulf Coast, but it is now found as far south as Veracruz, as far west as California, and as far north as British Columbia and the Great Lakes. I am curious if the stronghold in the Gulf Coast area will shift as they continue to expand to & populate all corners of the country. Happy birding!
