Can't believe it, but I have a Eurasian Collared-Dove building a nest
right now at my house (7,500 ft - Ponderosa). I know in warmer climes

Hello, Birders.
There's a good article in yesterday's Daily Camera (Boulder newspaper) on

Kudos to writer Joe Prentice for getting everything right! I know we birders
often lament, inaccurate ornithological reporting in the "mainstream"
