First #BandTailedPigeon of the year today, a singleton flying overhead. I often see these moving about in April and May, so right on schedule. Similar in size and shape to #RockPigeon but there is something about a Bandtail that immediately stands out, even distant in silhouette, and I can't quite put my finger on what it is. Also around here are #EurasianCollaredDove and #MourningDove. I should try to consciously unpack the tacit ID cues that I use to tell these four apart in flight.

Good morning, #Fediverse. I just learned about #fensterfreitag so here are my friendly neighborhood #eurasiancollareddove friends trying to eat me out of house and home. I’m only half joking. Sometimes they’ll both just sit at the feeder at the same time for ten minutes or more, gorging. #birds #Streptopeliadecaocto #birdphotography #doves
