Warm up

I have not observed any real change in the numbers of our native doves. The collared doves seem to like the suburban areas, were our morning dove especially prefer rural areas.
I rarely shoot a collared dove when I am out shooting in areas I historically have hunted for our native birds.
I suppose time will tell. It’s only been about 10 years since I spotted my first Eurasian dove. Now I observe more collared doves than our White wing or our morning dove.

I can't help but think that the competition for nest sights would hurt the native birds but then again it would be nice to be able to shoot an invasive species year round. Thanks Phil.
