To chart the first records of Eurasian Collared-Doves(ECDO) in TN, I have surveyed all The Migrants and th-bird entries since Eurasian Collared-Doves were first reported in TN in 1994. I have also used a few other sources such as Stephen Stedman's Website and the CBC records on the National Audubon Website. I have listed two records, Shelby and Overton, that were not accepted by the TOS Records Committee. I did this because for my purposes they are acceptable and important. The results may be viewed at: http://iweb.tntech.edu/sstedman/ECDOinTN.htm I thank Steve for posting this report for me. It is too long for tn-bird. If you see mistakes or have additions, send them to me at: WWalden@xxxxxxxxxxx I am also interested in evidence of breeding. For this records, please adhere to the criteria given in Richardson's Atlas of the Breeding Birds of Tennessee pages 4 and 5. Winston A.
