[va-bird] Eurasian Collared-Dove

I'm told that this might be only the fourth Virginia
record, and significant enough to post on the
listserv. I just bought a house in Chesapeake, in the
Deep Creek area, and moved in this month. My feeders
have attracted the usual backyard birds including
Mourning and Rock Doves, but tonight when I got home
from work, a Eurasian Collared-Dove was with them! I
watched off and on at close range for fifteen minutes
or so; once it left, it didn't return, but I'll post
again if it does come back tomorrow or over the
weekend.
