Thanks to all who have responded with county records for the Eurasian Collared-Dove. The list of Tennessee counties "without" a record is now 18. It would be appreciated if you would send me a note if you have observed the species in one of the counties listed. I am not asking for dates and numbers, only if you saw it in that county. I can be contacted at mlbierly@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Your assistance is appreciated. And thanks again to all who have previously responded...and so quickly! At some point it would be good to expand the summary data on this expanding species to include first arrivals and breeding status for each county. Seldom does one experience a species explosion with such magnitude as with the Eurasian Collared-Dove. Bedford, Campbell, Cheatham, Claiborne, Cocke, Hancock, Jackson, Johnson, Morgan, Robertson, Scott, Sevier, Smith, Sullivan, Trousdale, Unicoi, Union, Van Buren.
