Re: Eurasian Collared Doves



hey Tom,

here along the upper SC coast, the species seem to separate themselves. in
one area, it was interesting to see ECDO, MODO and Common Ground-dove sorted
out at intervals alongside the road.

in south Louisiana in winter, i observed my "lifer" White-winged Dove
foraging and perching with a mixed group of MODO and ECDO. but in so. LA in
winter one can see a number of tremulous things.

your mileage may vary.
