[TN-Bird] Re: Inca Dove, Hamblen Co.

 
Hello Dean, 

I have seen the dove, two more times, Sat. AM 10-20, and Mon. PM 10-23. 
Bothtimes it was hanging out with the Mourning doves, a nice size
comparison.  I got some good looks under my feeder and at my water source. 
Ido not have a camera available yet, and did not see the bird the last
coupleof days, but will continue to observe and report.
