I've been wondering a couple days if I should enter this discussion about 
Collard Doves and their proximity to railroad tracks?   Guess What!  The 
largest 
concentration of regularly seen birds in Chattanooga are also seen along the 
power lines and railroad tracks here as well.  Especially the colony just off 
Amnicola Hwy.

About two weeks back I found another colony with 40+ birds two blocks off 
McCalley Ave.  These birds at first glance appear to congregate at the Electric 
Power Board shop office.  This is also in a residential neighborhood.  The 
Humane Society is only a block away.  I have began to wonder if this colony has 
developed a preference to dog food as a food source.  BUT, the railroad tracks 
are only 6 blocks away...

I started to not post because I type like a dinosaur and it's time for me to 
leave for work.  If anyone would like better directions just drop me a line 
and I will answer later tonight.
