[obol] Eurasian Collared-Doves in Yachats

[Range Bayer]

Hi,

   Peg Fulkerson has had 3 Eurasian Collared-Doves at one of her platform
feeders in Yachats on May 5 and 6.  She writes that: "They arrived with a
small group of Band-tailed Pigeons but basically keep to themselves. They
are not as fearful as the Band-taileds and perch in a small
scrubby spruce near the drive or on a wire."

    After last year's spring invasion, these are the first I have heard
about in Lincoln County this year.

   Cheers,
