Glad you had success Tom and the rest. Inca Doves do show a strong pattern of
vagrancy and a sighting for Wisconsin was overdue. Florida had their first
state record earlier this year. Minnesota had one a few autumns ago northeast
of Duluth. I believe the UP has had them as well. There are also east coast
records.

Cynthia Bridge, Steve Thiessen, Nolan Pope, Chuck Heikkinen,Roger Sundell,
and Dave Frerik were all there looking. No way I could miss that one!
Cynthia located it in a deciduous tree after Chuck had flushed it from the
grasses near the new environmental building that Mark described. It soon
flew back
to the stones bordering the weedy grasses in front of the building giving
everyone great views. When it is in the weedy grasses it is hard to see, but
before I
left, Cynthia's sharp eyes picked it up, still near the stone border.
Thanks to Jim Frank for passing on his update.
Now the question is origin. Does this species have any history of vagrancy,
or might it have arrived in somebody's bird cage? Roger mentioned that with
all the vagrants showing up at this time from far flung places, that the
odds of it being a vagrant were increased. I guess the records committee has
their
work cut out for them!
