At 6:30 this afternoon I got a visit from my Mom, saying I needed to run up 
to their house to look at a bird. I live in the same neighborhood, and when 
I walked in my Dad asked if I had White-winged Dove in TN; as soon as I 
looked out the window I did. The Dove came in this afternoon, and fed under 
a feeder just off their back porch. I took some shots through the window, 
and then the bird flew up into a big oak in the back yard.

I was able to relocate it eventually in the oak, and watched it through the 
scope for about 30 minutes. It slept practically the whole time I watched, 
occasionally waking up and looking around, then going back to sleep. A 
Mourning Dove came into the tree and perched right beside it at 7:10, at 
which time the White-winged took flight. It flew low and around the side of 
the house, but wasn't seen again late this afternoon.

I will be over there early in the morning. If it does come back, my parents 
are fine with people coming to try for it. Viewing will have to be outside.

I will get some directions (hopefully the bird will return), and photos 
posted later tonight.

Good Birding!!
