GHOSTLY GLIMPSE OF A EURASIAN COLLARED DOVE IN FLIGHT
BAND-TAILED PIDEON ON A THRONE OF CHERRY BLOSSOMS
THE SLEEK AND QUIETLY ELEGANT APPEARANCE OF THE EURASIAN COLLARED DOVE BELIES ITS EAR-GRATING CALL IN FLIGHT. THESE BIRDS HAVE SLOWLY, IN THE PAST FEW YEARS, MADE THEIR JOURNEY FROM THE STATE OF FLORIDA WEST ACROSS THE U.S. AND NOW NORTH INTO WASHINGTON STATE AND THE PROVINCE OF BRITISH COLUMBIA. OURS APPEAR TO HAVE BECOME RESIDENT AND HAVE NESTED NEARBY.
