Hey All,
Just a few question and comments about the white winged dove. I'm a "City-Slicker" now and have been for a few years but I grew up on 160 acres with other farms being close to my folks house so I'm guessing a total of 300+ or- acres all together.
As a kid then into a man I only knew the Mourning Dove and that was pretty much it being a country kid.
Now that I live in NW-OKC I have a wealth of birds that come to my back yard and I'm quite amazed at how many different species of bird that come to my feeders.
The newest two this year are a Brown Trash also called a Brown Thrush:

But the one in question is the White Wing Dove:
I haven't looked them up but are they a transplanted/migrated into Oklahoma bird?
It's been 30 years since I've been dove hunting and I swear I don't ever remember seeing these birds(White Wing Dove) in NW Lincoln County.
I remember about 12 years ago some old hunting buddies were talking about a "larger" dove that they were seeing back then....Eurasian Collared Dove.
So fill me in on the White Winged Dove. I can get every type of bird in my backyard from a Golden Headed Blackbird to a flock of Meadow Larks to Sparrow Hawks...you name it.
But I can't get a Humming Bird into my back yard if I put up a billboard"free food for hummers" as bright as the Las Vegas Strip!!!
