Finally found the time to look at the Eurasian Collared-Dove nest here in St.
Nazianz. It had been in use for about 3 weeks now. It is located in a Crimson
Maple tree right near the edge of a residential street. The nest seems to be
poorly made from straw. I very much wonder if they obtained the straw from my
landscaping work. My house is only a few blocks away and the doves are here
daily. One of the doves was sitting on the nest - with the distinctive pattern
of the undertail showing well. A short while later, when talking with the home
owner, we saw both doves on the electric wire across the street. I then looked
again at the nest - and, of all things, saw a Robin standing in it! This would
be the first confirmed nesting of the Eurasian Collared-Dove in Manitowoc
County.
