Joe talking of the doves leaving reminded me of all the Eurasian doves we got the last few years. The state Fish and Wildlife are not so happy about them. No season, shoot as many as you want all year. They are bigger than the morning doves,about the size of a pigeon. I have not got around to shooting and eating any, but suppose to be good. I don't know were they first got loose, any of you heard about them in your area. Oh since someone ant got me with the silly
 pointless  "machine" I don't know how much cold they can take. They stay around all year. But the morning doves do too. I think the morning doves do migrate, just northern ones stay here in winter and the ones here in summer migrate on down to a warmer place. Just in case we get colder than normal,an something goes hay wire with the "machine" and operator. |

Hey Ray,,,,the mourning dove are native to this country, but the last 4-5 years the white wing dove have moved in and now outnumber the mourning dove. The white wing are not as skittish as the mourning as I can walk up to ole Hungry's grocery pan and they will wait til I'm bout 5 feet away before they fly off, but only bout 5 feet, and fly back to the groceries soon as I back off. I've ate both species and cannot tell any difference, I love the breast the best,,,,,,  Hey Steve,,I don't think I've ever seen the other species of dove you mention but maybe in one of the other flyways.
