[Birdtalk] Finally!!!! Eurasian Collared Doves

[birdnet at skylace.net]

Since a year ago when I heard that Eurasian Collared 
Doves are immigrating to Utah I have been scoping out
every dove that I see in hopes of finding one
with a banded neck.

But alas, they have all been mourning doves.
I haven't seen a mourning dove in months though
since they migrated out of the area.

Then today I saw a couple doves sitting in a 
tree, and just knew that they had to be Eurasians
because they tend to be residents rather than 
migratory.

So I asked the driver to go back. And sure
enough, there were a dozen Eurasian Collared
Doves sitting in cottonwood trees, just across
the street slightly north west of the motel in
Randolf Utah.

And then... 20 miles away in Evanston Wyoming, 
just north of the County Road bridge over the 
Bear River were another two dozen Eurasian 
Collared Doves.

My lucky day!!!!

Joseph
