White-tipped Dove

The WT Dove is the most widely distributed dove in the Americas, and the least distributed in the US as it occurs only in the very south of Texas, specifically the Rio Grand Valley. It occurs plentifully throughout most of Mexico, as well as Central and South America.

 

I found this bird at the National Butterfly Center, a couple miles from the border. The BC is a fine place to visit. Many Green Jays hang out here as well as Long-Billed Thrashers and other Rio Grand Valley Birds. And, yes lots of butterflies, but that's a whole other world to study.
