[Tweeters] Band-tailed Pigeons and Eurasian-collared Doves

[Hans-Joachim Feddern via Tweeters]

Today I had a pair of Band-tailed Pigeons visit my feeders. Previously, on
February 16th, I had a single Band-tailed Pigeon in my yard. This was a
First-Of-Year sighting. I used to have these pigeons year round, even
though years ago I would have 20 or more. Nowadays I only get 6 to 10.
I have seen a lot of reports of Band-taileds spring appearances, while I
had them all winter, not this winter!
Another question I have is the lack of Eurasian-collared Doves. I have yet
to see one this year. After we were being invaded over the last few\years,
you used to find them almost anywhere. Now they seem to be gone and I do
not think that they started migrating! Has anybody else seen any in Western
Washington  lately?

Good Birding!

Hans
