Hello all, unfortunately do not have a photo, have been trying to ID this bird online myself with no success. Hiking Mt Chocorua on August 20th, few days ago.
Half mile from summit spotted a black bird with white underside strutting in the underbrush of nearby trees, just off-trail. Shape similar to mourning dove? Dark eyes with fairly large, vibrant red rings around them. The red ring around the eyes were very attention grabbing.
Apologies for no photo. Thanks for any help.
