[mou] Eurasian Collared-Dove- Pennington County

[Jeanie Joppru]

The Eurasian Collared-dove has been refound in Thief River Falls on
Saturday, July 5th. Shelley Steva and I found the bird sitting on a
utility pole near the corner of Kinney and 6th Street, near the arena.
This area has only a row of utility poles running beside a railroad
track; it is open with no houses. This time we got to watch the bird
preen for 15 minutes, only flying when we flushed it on purpose in order
to check out the tail better. Perhaps the bird will be easier to find
now.
