Eurasian Collared Doves in our area......

[Heredoggydoggy]

They sometimes look more pinkish-tan than the gray on Mourning Doves

I have seen quite a few around Moses Lake, Just never had my shot gun with me during a sighting!

Saw a few last year...I've been seeing them quite a bit this year.
At first I was thinking holy crap, trophy doves.
They are in and around Spokane... I've got a couple hanging around the house.
They are about pigeon sized and have a squared off tail.
Good eats I'm sure!

they are also in Pacific county. I think they sound like a loud pigeon or owl/pigeon mix  .

YES they are in the Medical Lake/Deep Creek area.  Starting to see more of them than mourning doves.  Have taken pictures, see if I can post one later.

We also have a whiter Collared Mourning Dove, originating in Africa that has a black spot on each side of the neck.  Very tame, and stay close to people areas.  began as an escaped pet, and does not do very well in the wild.  Saw one on my fence one day, and walked to within 5 feet of it before it casually moved off.

I see them everyday....

I'll try and go out tomorrow and post some pics of them and mourning doves in the same picture.

There are a metric a$$ ton of them here is Iraq.  To the point the we were allowed to sign out bb guns from base defense to shoot them as long as we dispose of the bodies.

One of our neighbors on the island has said she has seen them.

I kill every one I see, and leave them lay. Evasive species that I don't want around.

Would you eat a mourning dove or band-tailed pigeon?  If so, why would you just leave them lay?  Just curious?

[MtnMuley]

I eat every mourning dove I shoot. I don't hunt pigeons, and consider these birds as over grown starlings.

[lokidog]

Maybe you can donate them to someone that would appreciate the fresh meat?  I'll let this go now.  Good shooting.

I've seen them up in Hancock just over Eatonville (the cliff right above Eatonville).  Also have seen morning doves so double check before you shoot.
