Description
Spring Eurasian Collared Dove - these are my favorite of the Dove family...they have an interesting history, as quoted here from the All About Birds website:
"Eurasian Collared-Doves made their way to North America via the Bahamas, where several birds escaped from a pet shop during a mid-1970s burglary; the shop owner then released the rest of the flock of approximately 50 doves. Others were set free on the island of Guadeloupe when a volcano threatened eruption. From these two sites the birds likely spread to Florida, and now occur over most of North America."
