Another new image of something I’ve never been able to get a picture of. It’s a Eurasian Collared Dove. It’s somewhat of a rare Dove for Houston, and it’s non-native.
Here’s the Eurasian Collared Dove. It’s quite a bit larger than the Mourning Dove and it also has that ring around its neck.

Here’s a Mourning Dove for comparison.

LeAnn - I appreciate the information. I have a few doves visit but
mostly Mourning Doves. I will look for the ring neck.August 19, 2009 – 10:48 pm
