Observation details

Two! Both birds were in the same exact spot near each other on a cross bar of a telephone pole on Conata Street, 200 yards north of Encanto Park, vaguely here: (34.1494976, -117.9316396) . Find a series of wood telephone or powerline poles that are running west from Encanto Parkway. The first white winged dove sat still in a side profile, giving me a very nice look at the well defined bright white wing edge visible in the attached photograph taken by holding my cell phone up to my binoculars, because I didn’t have a camera with me today. This bird was smaller than the Eurasian Collared Doves that were all around it. While I was writing on my cell phone, with my bare eyes I saw a flapping dove with large, bright white wing patches in the appropriate location where they should be for a White winged Dove (this second bird had its back to me , so it was at a 90° angle to the first bird), so I put my phone down and picked my binoculars up, and the original bird was still sitting in the same spot. This second bird was about 2 feet or more to the left of the original bird. Per my conversation with Tracy Drake, who originally found these birds, she suspected, but never told anybody that she had two of them, and when I told her this afternoon that I think there are two, she responded that I was confirming her original suspicion.
