Eurasian Collard Dove
The Eurasian Collard Dove lives across most of the United States, except for the northeastern quarter. Michigan is not part of its range, although birders will spot a couple in the Great Lakes state every now and then.
The bird was introduced to the Bahamas in the 1970s. A few escaped to Florida, and since the 1980s has proliferated across much of the country.
I have many Mourning Doves sometimes more than a hundred in and around my yard. I always glance out at the flock to see if an outlier is present. Thus far, no dice.
I photographed this bird in Central Texas.
