MD Osprey:

FYI ... this is less than 4 miles from the MD/DE boundary ... I 
didn't realize that had been around there for about 10 years!

Subject: Status of Selbyville's Eurasian Collared-Doves et al

Sunday morning, I went to Selbyville to tick off Eurasian Collared-Dove for
  my 2012 Delaware bird list.  I arrived at about 8:30 AM and parked at the
Eye Clinic on Rte 54.  From the car, I walked to and down South William's
Street.  About half way to Rte 17 - between W. 2nd and W. 3rd Streets, I
heard a Eurasian Collared-Dove calling from behind the houses.  At that
point, the home owner, who has been feeding these birds for the past 
ten years,
saw me and asked if I was looking for the Eurasian Collared-Doves.  We
talked about the status of the birds and he told me that the most 
birds that he
has seen in the past year has been three either at his feeder or in the
cornfield across Rte 54 from South William's Road.  I stayed  a few more
minutes and heard the Eurasian Collared-Dove call several  more times from  a
thick pine tree, saw him moving around in there and  left.
