Kirsten and I found an Eurasian Collard Dove this m Greetings: Kirsten and I found an Eurasian Collard Dove this morning just north of Faribauilt. From Highway 60 and Second Avenue north, in downtown Faribault, go north till you come to Hwy. 3. Continue on Hwy. 3 for two miles, from Highway 60, until you come to Ames Avenue, which is just beyong a bridge on the highway. Turn left on to Ames Avenue. We stopped about 75 feet on Ames Avenue to look at the light dove we saw on the power line on west side of Ames Avenue. From there we backed up 150 feet to the road that goes to a farm home - they had bird feeders, too, to look at the dove from this angle.
The bird we saw at both stops had a very light tan breast and neck (N.Geo. bird book says,"very pale-gray buff".) The tail of the dove was white and not sharply pointed. At this point we could not see the black collar on the back of the neck. We then returned to our original position on Ames Avenue. The bird had moved a bit for Kirsten now saw a bit of the black collar on the side of the neck. Coming from the northFIELD, turn right on Ames Avenue. Rev. Forest V.
