This morning, a White-winged Dove briefly visited my feeders near Grand Rapids. I was able to snap a documentation photo of the bird, but unfortunately it was a film camera because my digital was out in the car and I couldn't get it without flushing the dove. I suspect this bird may have been around for some time because I was away in SW Minnesota doing MNBBA surveys and now that I have returned, there has occasionally been a dove sitting partially-obscured in the same hanging basket feeder the dove was at this morning that none of us paid much attention to until I noticed the wing stripe and tail today when it was perched on the edge of the feeder. Hopefully it decides to stay for a while--I have millet and sunflower chips out for it.
