snowyowl said:I forgot to add the Mourning Doves. Some of us were talking the other evening and one birder mentioned that a dozen years ago a Mourning Dove sighting would have been something to chase down. Now they're extremely common here. I think that the next invasion will probably be the Turkey Vulture.
I still don't see many doves here... maybe 3 or 4 in a summer, that's it. As for turkey vultures, for the first time, I saw that many last summer! My husband actually saw one in a ditch on a moose carcass when we were traveling.
Lots of doves in southern Ontario.... they're everywhere down there! But not too many up here, that I've seen.
