Last Friday afternoon, September 30, I observed a Eurasian collared dove between Patton Lane and Caney Creek embayment, just north of Highway 70 in Roane County. The site is about 1/2 mile SE of the Roane State Community College campus. The bird flushed from a small tree next to an old subdivision road within a few hundred feet of TVA retained property adjacent to Caney Creek embayment. Wes James Lenoir City, TN Wesley K.
