Observation details
Large covey flew up the canyon. Looking at this covey with naked eyes I initially thought that these were band-tailed but my photos clearly show that they were rock doves. This is likely some pigeon racer's covey - seems like the only logical explanation. I wonder if some of the recent reports of band-tailed are these birds too.
