Never seen a White Winged Dove before, so I shot it

[LVSteve]

Newcomer to my yard. I also had Eurasian Collared Doves and Mourning Doves to follow. No Inca doves yet.

Beautiful bird. I've never seen one--or a collared or Inca dove.

 

[Stainless44]

Aaaahhhh…ya got me. Shot it with the camera.

 

[ladyT]

I'm looking at ground doves, ring necks (Eurasian) and mourning doves outside my window as I type this. I'll be looking at the mourning doves very closely in about three more months.

they are the pigeons of SW Texas.... A.K.A. everywhere

Someone told me they migrated from Mexico & didn't go back.

Are they called illegals or undocumented.

Add rice and gravy, or pica de gallo. In the finest restaurant with silver service and waistcoated waiters...or off the shady side of a chuckwagon downwind of a mesquite campfire.
Had it both ways, the only way it gets better is by happening again.

You think they're beautiful in that picture, you ought to see them in a pot full of gravy or wrapped in bacon sitting on a grill over a mesquite fire

La cerveza se puede tener. Usted tendrá que esperar a que las balas.

And they taste better than chicken.

There's a bunch of them around my house. About evey other month I awake to find feathers and body parts all over my back yard from some wayward cat getting a dove.

Are you sure it's not hawks? Certain hawks are dove specialists.

Damned white wings, anyway...my Phoenix AZ looongh time buddy and I always have our ''joke'' about the AZ weather getting really stormy in August, just to run the white wings away. (They're bigger and for us, easier to knock down than mourning doves.) Son of a gun if it doesn't nearly always do just that! We like the collareds even more, cuz they're bigger still, but they nicely stick around where we hunt. And, unlike the "WW" the collareds are an "invasive species" which means no closed season and no daily limit. We give them all the attention we can! Often as not, when we seek doves we fill our 10 mourning dove limit straightaway, and spend the rest of our time afield shooting collareds. Terrific days out with friends and happy dogs fetching virtually endless supplies of doves.

OOPS--"looong time buddy''

I like your style.

They're becoming the same in East Texas...I don't hardly see a Mourning Dove anymore, the White Wings are displacing them....
