We arrived at the Borntrager farm just before 7:30 this morning.  (A  gentle
correction to Su Snyder's directions:  the farm is on the left side  of TR
419, not the right.  An even easier "field mark" is the beautiful  flower gardens
in the front yard.)  Arriving at the same time were Tom  Manion (I hope I
have your last name right, Tom) & Bernie Master.  We  all saw the white-winged
dove within just a few minutes of arriving, sitting on  a chain link fence
behind the long white barn.  It sat there for maybe 5  minutes before flying off;
that was when the identification became  positive.  We left at 9:30, without
seeing it again.

Thanks to Dean Borntrager for so graciously allowing us to come onto his
property to see the bird.  And to Su for letting us know about it.
