[TN-Bird] Eurasian collared dover & hummers

The Eurasian collared dove returned for breakfast around 7:30 this morning  
and is now here eating dinner for which it came at 5 P.M . here in the 
Charlotte  Park section of West Nashville.  Oops, it was just "spooked" for the 
second 
 time and flew into the hackberry tree.  It left a couple of minutes after  
its evening arrival, but came back.  I've sure enjoyed seeing it for the  past 
two days and wonder if it is going to be a "keeper." 
 
The hummingbirds have been filling up all day, and their little bellies are  
obviously full and sticking out like "beer guts."  Maybe they know the rain  
is coming and are planning to fly out tonight ahead of the front.  I will  sure 
miss them when they have all migrated.  I've read several reports of  
ruby-throats still being seen up north, so, hopefully, there are more to travel 
 
through here.
 
Happy birding,
