They look like Common Eider-doves  ;-)

Subject: [MDOSPREY] dove mystery solved


I was in Prince Frederick this afternoon and saw the two mystery doves flying 
ogether near the Kmart. I followed them and found that they had flown into the 
ign over the store and were hanging out in and behind the "g" in the Big K 
ign. Anyway, they're pure white so when I saw them a few weeks ago in the low 
ate afternoon sun, they had a more golden glow that made me think that they 
ere Eurasian Collared-Doves. C'est la vie. Also, for anyone trying to tick Rock 
igeon for Calvert, I seriously doubt that these are related. The bill is quite 
longated and the head is much more tapered than the typical Rock Pigeon. I was 
ble to snap a few pix in the dim light if you're interested in seeing what they 
ook like. Clearly they hang out together as I've only ever seen the two sitting 
lose the other times I saw them before today.
