Participant Photo: Eurasian Collared-Dove Finally Returns

I am so happy to finally have one Eurasian Collared-Dove again (March 22, 2015 and March 28, 2015–this photo)! I have not had one visit my yard since November 16, 2014, and I don’t know what happened to all of them! The most recent Chicago winter was as bitterly cold as last winter, with last winter having an extreme amount of snow, yet I had ECD’s visiting last winter through February 2014.
