Collared Doves
|
|
I shot one eight or ten years ago near Old Monroe. I knew there was a small population of them around there.
I've noticed the same thing around several other towns. Wellesville, Jonesburg, and even Memphis ( Mo. ) have them, and they're pretty damn plentiful in Wright City.
Are they becoming more prevalent in other parts of the state ? Just curious.

Very common down here in SWFL-probably 50/50 mix with mourning doves...but twice the meat..tastes the same.They seem to travel in mating pairs,vs. large flocks of common dove.

The Eurasian Collared Dove were thick as flies over in the Netherlands when I lived there (95-99). Used to tick me off as I couldn't whack them. First ones I saw here was I think was in 2005-6.
Up here in NE, those doves are in places thicker than Mourning doves. But their niche is slightly different. Seems the collared doves like the same as what pigeons prefer. I could shoot a limit at the edge of Fremont anytime...
