I had a new (to me) visitor to my open feeder today - a Eurasian Collared Dove. I posted a pic in the Bird forum to be sure of my ID and am told that this is a nuisance non-native bird, much like the starling. Has anyone else had any experience with this newcomer? @Mcash70, you were right - this morning there was one, now this afternoon there are two. I have so far been throwing rocks at them to discourage them from the feeder, but if they are actually in the area and colonizing, my guess is my efforts will be rather futile. Trying to get an idea of how much of a nuisance they might be in the Pacific NW. Here's the pic I posted to get the ID:

I want to live in a world where the chicken can cross the road without its motives being questioned.
