Greetings,
On Sunday afternoon, July 8, I met Pat McCarthy(Darke County Birders)in
West Manchester, Preble County to look for the Eurasian Collared-Doves.
Shortly after I arrived we saw a dove fly into a tree at a home behind
the post office. It was not a mourning dove. It perched on a branch,
where, through Pat's spotting scope we could see all the field marks of
an Eurasian Collared-Dove. Later, two flew overhead and into a tree at a
home across the street from the front of the post office. After Pat left
I saw another one on a utility wire behind the post office. Before
leaving I saw a mourning dove fly in and perch on a utility wire. What a
difference between the two species! West Manchester is located on Route
127 just over 4 miles north of I-70. The post office is on the south side
of Scott Street between High and Main Streets.
Sincerely,
Jim Fry
Hocking County
