Had a single Eurasian Collared Dove around 9:30 am today (05/20) near the
Roosevelt Elementary School at the intersection of Mimosa St and Walnut St.
I saw the bird landing on a wire as I was driving by and was struck by the
size,light grayish color, and squared-off tail. I turned around and drove
back and got a good look at the perched bird through binocs and could easily
see the ring around the back of the birds neck. I watched for a couple of
minutes before the bird flew off to the west in the direction of the old
WalMart store on W. Stone Drive (near where 11W goes underneath I-26). First
time I have seen this bird in Kingsport. I've seen hundreds (if not more) in
south Florida.
