While driving by the Bonanza resturant in Lebanon today I noticed a large dove 
fly up from the grassy field and land in a tree.  I recognized the dove as an 
Eurasian Collared Dove and stopped to make sure and it had all the trimmings 
you expect from a Eurasian Collared Dove.  It was a grayish color with a black 
collar at the bottom of the nape, the tail was square with a white band perched 
in the tree.  Once it flew I could see the dark blackish primaries with the 
gray wing coverts.  It eventually flew into the cemetary across the road from 
Bonanza.
