Eurasian Collared Dove
Streptopelia decaocto
32.2175, -81.1743
Field Notes
Description:
A highly invasive, nonmigratory species of dove. Pinkish/Brown color with a conspicuous neck collar and a thin eyering. This bird is an introduced species that has spread from Florida west to California, and north to Alaska and Nova Scotia. Eurasian Collared Doves are claimed to extirpate populations of Mourning Doves in some areas, and many people hold negative feelings towards them. However, I have seen no decline of Mourning Doves in my area and am charmed by this beautiful bird.
Habitat:
Urban
