The Rock Dove (Pigeon) are found just about everywhere. The Pigeons and Doves have relatively small heads and bills and short legs. They are ground feeders foraging for seeds, fruits and whatever people feed them. They all emit a low cooing calls many people mistake for a hoot owl.

birdshooter > This Ringed Turtle or Eurasian collared Dove and companion landed in front of the bleachers at Boy Scout Woods Sancturary in High Island.  The HAS operates the bird sanctuaries in High Island and does an outstanding job of providing habitat for migrating birds and hosting the hundreds of birders who visit each spring.
birdshooter > The Sibley guide book calls this guy a "Rock Dove" but we know him as pigeon.  A Peregine Falcon's favorite meal, "Go Falcons".  A large group of pigeons make their roost on a strip center building near Long Point.  One afternoon my grandson and I watched a Red-tailed Hawk glide down across the parking lot and knock off a pigeon.  The ball of feathers rose out from where the pigeon was roosting.  You gotta love it.
birdshooter > I photographed this White-winged Dove in my back yard.  Notice the metal band on his right leg.  Also notice the color variance between this dove and the other White-winged Dove photographed in South Texas.
