I was just practicing in the back yard and I caught these guys. It is hard to get bird/critters when my Chihuahua is playing around the yard.

Thanks! I'm not sure, my neighbor is a pigeon keeper and doves come around all the time. This is the first dove I've seen with a blue ring around the eye.


Thanks!
Chris

I believe the dove is a white wing ... they have expanded their territory north from Mexico over the last couple decades. I see several daily in the neighborhood. It is a good looking bird.

I agree, it appears to be the White Wing Dove and very similar to the (Australian) Peaceful Dove
