Subject: [ia-bird] Collared doves - Clarke co.
Just now walked out to enjoy the pleasant weather I spooked a mass
(flock) of Eurasian Collared Doves from my
gravel drive, presumably collecting grit.   We occasionally have a pair
of EUCD gleaning under our BOSS feeders, but never
have I ever seen this many together.  They scattered along the tree line
150 feet  behind our house and hung out for 5 minutes
before erupting en masse.   I counted 15 in flight.   Scanning the trees
I found 1 more.
