I came across a Ringed Turtle-Dove this morning on my way to work at about 8:30. Though un-banded, It is most likely an escaped bird and not a wild African Collared-Dove. I obtained good documentary pictures which confirm the ID that I will post later. For those who might want to try for it, take the A train to the 207th stop. Exit from the uptown stairs which will leave you on the corner of 211th street and Broadway. Walk west on 211th St./Isham St./Heroes of 911 Way for one block and make your first left, walking north on the west side of Park Terrace West until you reach the staircase connecting P.T.W. to Seaman Avenue and start looking. It was feeding with a flock of house sparrows just off of the west side sidewalk on Park Terrace West.
