In Mass they're classified as a songbird.

Same here in Washington but one does need a hunting license. At the absurd cost of a Washington non-resident license, can't have friends over from Idaho, but then they have their own.

They moved into Missouri over the past decade and are regulated along with the native mourning dove. We can shoot them in season and must count them toward our 15 dove limit. I generally have a pair nesting in my yard, and we see them in the small town we live near. I've never encountered one afield as they seem to like hanging around dwellings. I guess I could shoot my "yard birds," but I'm not sure I need the food that badly. Right now, they are kind of a trophy bird with me, but the State deems them invasive.

Odd that the state would regulate the removal of an invasive species….?

Just another example of misguided regulations by unelected bureaucrats.

Dean, I'm not sure if your comment was a result of my post, but if so, I believe that what was at play in the creation of the regulation was that people would not be able to distinguish one species from another. There may be more in the southern part of the State, but we find them primarily near towns.

Whitewing dove are also regulated, and I've never seen one north of the Missouri River (or south for that matter), but they must be here according to our conservation dept. The regulation digest always includes pictures and "tips" for identification of the species. Below is the identification page minus the pictures. If you (or maybe Stan, the dove expert) might be interested, here's a link to the digest: https://mdc.mo.gov/sites/default/fil...08/2021MBW.pdf

I've often contended that going from state to state is like going to another planet. This may be an example.

Dove Identification
Mourning dove
◾ Grayish-brown
◾ Faster wing beat, more
erratic flight path than
white-winged dove
◾ 12 inches from tip of beak
to end of tail
◾ Call is a soft, inflected
cooAHoo followed by several coos
White-winged dove
◾ Grayish-brown
◾ Slightly larger than
mourning dove
◾ Call is a soft hoohoo
hoohoo with the final note descending
Black spots Long, pointed tail
White wing patch
Long, moderately rounded tail
Eurasian collared-dove
◾ Gray
◾ 13 inches from tip of beak
to end of tail
◾ Call is a three-part coo
with similar tone to a domestic pigeon
Thin black band on neck with white upper border
Long, squared tail
Migratory Bird and Waterfowl Hunting Digest 2021–2022 9

Note: We will have our second Elk season in the last 100 years and will have a bear season this coming Fall. The bear are "invasive" as having entered the State through our southern border. No talk of building a wall yet.

It’s open season (ie, no season) on Eurasian doves year round in Georgia. And there’s no problem telling them apart from a mourning dove.

I sure wish I could click on that “thumbs up” icon about a hundred times Daryl.
