Hi Linda,
At least in Kearney, it seems like the collared-doves move around a lot in town based on the time of year. My neighborhood is right next to a big silo, and while we have dozens of doves in the summertime, we have hundreds of collared-doves now. I think they just seem scarce in many of these areas because they are starting to really concentrate in the places they know there will be good amounts of food.
Incidentally, we also saw one being eaten by a Cooper’s Hawk yesterday as well!

Update on Doves,
I spotted an EC Dove this A.M. Very silent but it was there.
We had a Coopers Hawk in the bird bath last week and I suspect many birds are laying low.
