Eurasian Collared-Dove, September 16, 2020

Wild Bird Wednesday and My Corner of the World

Tupelo, Mississippi, USA, September 13, 2020
As you can guess by their name, Eurasian Collared-Doves, Streptopelia decaocto, are not native to North America. They apparently escaped from a pet shop in the Bahamas and flew to the southern United States. Now they can be found across much of the US and Mexico. Like other Doves, you can attract them to your yard by offering seed and grain on the ground or in a platform feeder.

Have a blessed day!
