Eurasian Collard-Dove

It's been over a year since the Eurasian doves began showing up for meals. All the songbirds had a difficult time telling their underbellies apart from Sharp-shinned hawks when they'd come into the feeding area to land. The songbirds would all take off and then the Eurasian doves seeing everyone scatter would think there was a Sharp-shinned and also take off. In time the Eurasian doves would land 15 feet away from the feeding area and walk over. Many of the songbirds have gotten use to it or been able to distinguish the difference but not everybody.
