Houston Lane, Chattanooga, Hamilton County, TN
November 10, 2997
Eurasian Collared-Dove: 2, large size; collar; under tail dark gray with last 
1-1/2 inches white; feeding on ground, on feeder, or perched in pear tree for 
15 minutes.

Ringed Turtle-Dove: 2, almost pure white including under tail coverts, collar 
not seen, small black streak about 1/8 x 1/4 inch, parallel to beak, located 
where back of jaw might be if birds had jaws, feeding on ground, on feeder, and 
perched in pear tree 15 minutes, at the same time as the Eurasian but not close 
to them.

A 5th dove, on or the other, somewhat hidden in the pear tree, left before I 
could get a good look.

Both are firsts for our yard, for Houston Lane, and as far as I know for the 
area south of Collegedale.  It was rather surprising to see them at the same 
time.
