Hi Braxton,
Well, there are many records according to eBird through most of OC and including Mission Viejo and the intersection Joan mentioned.

Whoops, that’s supposed to say fairly, not dairy!

Ed,
While Band-tailed Pigeons are dairy common in inland OC, they are quite uncommon/rare along the coast. Also, I haven’t seen any in south OC(including my town, Ladera Ranch, and Mission Viejo).

About half an hour ago, I noticed 2 Band-tailed Pigeons perched in our yard, noticeably larger and darker than the usual Mourning Doves, with the white stripe on the back of the neck and very yellow feet. I took a few pictures and they flew off after a few minutes. Are these ever seen around here? We're a few blocks west of the intersection of La Paz and Olympiad.
