They don't really get the respect they deserve, do they?<BR/><BR/>WW Dove would be a Lifer for me, too. Glad you got to add another notch to your birding belt.<BR/><BR/>~KathiKathihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13186814675058675885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8934298594596051612.post-39247321889688353582008-11-04T13:41:00.000-06:002008-11-04T13:41:00.000-06:00KatDoc and Christopher, thanks for the correction!...KatDoc and Christopher, thanks for the correction! I'd never seen a white-winged dove before, and it is not in either of the field guides I normally keep in the car (both of which are Texas-specific guides). So I went with the closest match I could find, and the only one that mentioned the blue eye-rings. Looking at the descriptions and pictures of the White-winged Doves, I definitely made a big mistake in identification!<BR/><BR/>Good part about it is that I get to add the White-winged Dove to my life list. And, in a lucky coincidence, I spotted what I'm pretty sure really IS a Mourning Dove at lunch today. Added that photo with a correction to the post above.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again for the help! I'm learning from all of you, if a bit slowly at times.Kylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13014655699830796979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8934298594596051612.post-39279288721192854562008-11-04T11:05:00.000-06:002008-11-04T11:05:00.000-06:00Hey Kyle,They are, as KatDoc noted, White-winged D...Hey Kyle,<BR/>They are, as KatDoc noted, White-winged Doves - and absolutely beautiful photos of them at that!<BR/>Well done!!!Christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05190981446326142452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8934298594596051612.post-42039520012030911312008-11-04T09:53:00.000-06:002008-11-04T09:53:00.000-06:00Mourning Doves are so common, sometimes I forget h...Mourning Doves are so common, sometimes I forget how gorgeous they are!

We don't have them in Ohio, but your photo doesn't look like MODO to me, it looks more like WW Dove. It has more blue around the eyes than a Mourning Dove would have, plus the white on the leading edge of the wings, which is not typical of Mourning Dove. <BR/><BR/>Here is a link to White-winged Dove on the Cornell site; be sure to click to enlarge Kevin Karlson's photo.<BR/><BR/>http://www.birds.cornell.edu/AllAboutBirds/BirdGuide/White-winged_Dove.html<BR/><BR/>~KathiKathihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13186814675058675885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8934298594596051612.post-85178222335646615872008-11-03T12:05:00.000-06:002008-11-03T12:05:00.000-06:00Great photos of the dove.Great photos of the dove.mickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08230845410313320080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8934298594596051612.post-25366379583599681782008-11-03T11:37:00.000-06:002008-11-03T11:37:00.000-06:00The shadows and expression certainly live up to th...The shadows and expression certainly live up to the name.Arijahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03720793296992474762noreply@blogger.com
