Sorry for the late report, but I'm just getting to my computer (one of
these days I'll buy a smart phone, if I can ever decide between a Droid
X, Droid 2, Droid Incredible, iPhone (when available on 2/20)... but I
digress. Rob Hilton & I arrived at the dove lookout spot at 7:40am
today and immediately found the WHITE-WINGED DOVE feeding on the
platform feeder. It stayed there for about 5 minutes, and then flew up
into one of the deciduous trees in the back yard (not too far from the
red barn). It stayed in the tree as other birders arrived - Kevin &
Karen from Howard County, Kurt from VA - until we left at 8:10am.
Good birding,
