While I was off stalking the Glossy Ibis, Betsy went to the nearby park to look for warblers. She dipped on the warblers but came up with a EURASIAN COLLARED-DOVE instead. She first heard it singing, followed the sound, then found it on a wire. Unfortunately, it flew before she could snap a photo. The location was near the bathrooms at the northeast corner of the park, near the boat launch into Wilson Harbor. After dinner this evening, I went with her to look for it but we were unable to find it. I would like to think it is still around, and I will likely try again in the morning, but the location so near the lake suggests that it is a bird on the move.
Good birding!
