[nysbirds-l] Eurasian Collared-Dove - Wilson Tuscarora State Park

While I was off stalking the Glossy Ibis, Betsy went to the nearby park to look for warblers. She dipped on the warblers but came up with a EURASIAN COLLARED-DOVE instead. She first heard it singing, followed the sound, then found it on a wire. Unfortunately, it flew before she could snap a phot

Hi all, I arrived to Plumb Beach at about 11am and searched for the King Eider together with two other birders for almost 2 hours without connecting with it.
