As our carpool was crawling through Prince Frederick this afternoon, I noticed two very pale doves perched on the phone line near the Starbucks. Since I wasn't driving, I didn't ask to spin around. I'll be looking extra hard tomorrow morning on the way northbound in case the birds are still in the area. To my knowledge, there are no reports or records for Calvert County and they're still rather scarce statewide despite being trash birds in most states to the west.


To be a bit more specific, there's a traffic light at the Wawa and the hospital (Stoakley Rd.) then another traffic light just south of the Wawa then another just beyond the Starbucks (Fox Run Blvd.). The birds were perched between Starbucks and Skore's on the right as you head south.

It's also entirely possible that the low angle of the sun made the birds look incredibly pale but I don't think that that's the case. Anyway, if you in the vicinity, it might be worth looking around.
