I think I have one at my feeder. It sings a mixture of mourning dove/collared
dove songs and is much lighter and larger than a mourning dove, but lacks the
collar. When I was in Florida in February, both species were everywhere and
were nesting side-by-side, so as far as displacement goes, I didn't see
evidence of it there. After all, they are doves and aren't doves the symbol of
peace?
I always find it fascinating that we (who are also an exotic species to this
continent) are so eager to kill anything else (and sometimes anyone else) who
finds this country a great place to dwell?
Excuse me now, while I kill this stupid Asian beetle that's crawling on my
keyboard.

"There is symbolic as well as actual beauty in the migration of birds. There is
something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature - the assurance
that dawn comes after night, and spring after the winter."
-Rachel Carson
