Observation details
OMG...so excited to see these doves in my front yard today. One Oriental Turtle-Dove was reported at Seal Cove in July and I have been keeping a look out for them ever since. They were larger and darker than the ECDO's that were also in the yard and had "zebra stripe" patches on the sides of their necks. Photographed through the window, so the images aren't as clear as I would like, but the birds were quite nervous and flew into the neighbour's tree when I tried to go outdoors.
