Hello Ontbirders ( Hamilton and Toronto listers!!)
A Eurasian Collared-Dove has been found and is now in Oakville.
I am relaying this info with the permission of , and on behalf of, my friend
Enver Domingo.
Yesterday or Friday,Enver’s neighbour found this dove that had been injured (
by hitting a window in the Erin Mills & North Sheridan way in Southern
Mississauga) and was brought to him in Oakville.
The dove had been stunned and recovered enough ( without apparent injuries ) to
be released in Oakville.
It flew off and joined some Mourning Doves and has been hanging around Enver’s
back porch area ( thanks to his generous seeds, milk, and water that he has
offered for the bird).
The Dove was present in Enver's back porch on Saturday (late)afternoon.
People are birder friendly. However, use good ethiquette and proper decorum in
the vicinity!. Best of luck.
