Observation details

Photographed. Accepted by IORC, record # 2007.007. Seen by Libby Hill, John Kock, and about 7 others (according to my IORC documentation). From my IBET post: "The Evanston North-Shore Bird Club's field trip to the Northwestern Landfill in Evanston this morning found a White-winged Dove at 10:15 at the south end of the landfill. I first noticed it walking on the ground under the pines just east of the little bridge at the south end of the landfill; it then flew north into a different group of trees, before flying back south where we lost it. It could very well still be around. I ran back to my car after getting everyone on it to grab my camera, and I was able to get a quick digiscoped pic or two before losing track of it. I will post a photo shortly on Surfbirds. Perhaps this is the same bird that was seen at Montrose a couple weeks ago."
