That right there is the sound of the Eurasian invasion. The non-native Eurasion collared-dove was released from captivity in the Bahamas in 1974, they were confirmed in Miami in 1982, noted in Montana in 1997, in California in 2001 and in Idaho by 2005. They reached Seattle by 2007 and were confirmed nesting in Alaska in 2009, having traversed the continent in a quarter century – half the time it took starlings and house sparrows to put down roots coast-to-coast in the late 1800s.

There is an open season on this evasive season for bb gunners and wing shooters alike.
