I have witnessed a dearth of Mourning and EC Doves this year, being totally displaced by White Winged Doves. On any day this past winter (past, maybe not yet?), I could see up to 250 WW doves hanging around my house, and no Mourning Doves, no Eurasian Collared Doves, and certainly no Inca Doves. Early this AM (around 3 AM), I heard the cooing of several WW Doves coming from the Live Oaks in my front yard; this chorus went on until about 7 AM. Does this mean that the WW Doves will be nesting in my yard soon? Mira M.
