We have been invaded by Eurasian Collared-Doves! On Sat, I photographed an Eurasian Collared-Dove on a nest in a fake Ficus tree on the north facing porch of a neighbor. She is using an old robin nest from last year. Had seen a calling EUCD on roofs near there last week. Today 3 more were in a nearby neighborhood, one calling on a rooftop and 2 copulating two houses away. I haven’t seen any Mourning Doves here for over a year.
Also had a pair of Say’s Phoebes looking at one of my nest boxes this morning and saw another a few blocks away hunting insects.
Also have a House Finch with bad eye lesions so all feeders are down.
