Observation details
First seen on the ground at feeder with a few mourning doves. Noticeably larger, short, squared off tail, bright blue eye ring with white lined wings. Flew off into the trees when approached to photograph due to the dogs coming outside. Found again about 45 minutes later in the neighbors tree. Hung out there for a while, coo'ed several times. Stayed in the area until about 5:45 PM hoping from tree to tree and cooing. Only able to get decent photos when he was in the neighbors tree. See photos below.
