Inca Dove (Columbina inca)
We never made it to Alpine or Fort Davis. The day we were to leave a serious plumbing issue surfaced. Our plumbers were baffled and it took several days to diagnose the problem and several more to fix it plus we still have to get a water pump installed which still...
Inca doves are well-camouflaged little darlings. Has anyone else noticed that there tend to be pairs of them feeding together? I've only ever seen singletons, pairs, and a couple of groups of four. This one had a friend in a nearby tree.

These guys have been living here for the last two years and it wasn't until recently I realized they were kind of rare and kind of right on the boarder or just outside of the boarder of their mapped range.

Inca Dove (Columbina inca) Photographed this small long-tailed dove in Playa Hermosa, Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica. Dry Tropical Forest at ca. 61 m (200 ft) above the bay.
This Inca Dove started coming to my feeders about 10 days ago. It's the first Inca Dove I've seen in my area since five years ago when I had five or six of them coming to the feeders during the winter months.
