Observation details
What a surprise. The Yukon’s only population of Rock Doves, in Whitehorse, winked out a year ago. Totally extirpated. Yet here is this lone, unbanded Rock Dove at Quartz Rd Marsh. It’s a different colour morph than the last of the vestigial population of Whitehorse Rock Doves which were wild-type form. Question now, is this bird a true “vagrant” from the south, or a local escapee? Terrible cell-phone thru binoculars does the job to document the beast.
