Greetings David:

Thanks for the report.

Inca Doves do, indeed, flock ... when there are enough about to form a
flock.  As recently as fifteen years ago, one could encounter foraging
flocks in the double digits and my brother, Martin, has a photograph of
230+ under a single apple tree in his former Lubbock yard.

Five is about as good as it gets in Lubbock these days.
