I suspect there is a vast difference between city and country habitats
for these two species. We live in the country and have routinely/daily
8-10 (or sometimes more) Mourning Doves. Two EC doves occasionally
visit. In Willamina, a town about 10 miles away, I see EC doves every
time I drive through and don't remember ever seeing Mourning Doves.
Just like California Quail. I read on this list how quail have
disappeared from many places people used to see them. Well, we had 45-50
overwintering here and now have at least a dozen clutches of at least 10
chicks each running around. Habitat, habitat, habitat...
