Folks

On Monday and Tuesday of this week I had an African Collared Dove, Streptopelia roseogrisea, singing and perching in my Waldorf yard. I took photo. Obviously an escaped or released bird since their normal range is Senegal to Eritrea, and SW Arabia.

Check Zeno Canto for recordings.

This is likely a common cage bird, but still neat to hear singing. I should see it in November when I am in Senegal.
