This afternoon around 4:30 I found a Eurasian Collared-Dove in the area =
of New Germany in northwestern Carver County.  The bird was perched on a =
tree that overhung Yancy Ave.  This spot is next to a farmhouse just =
after the creek going south on Yancy from Hwy. 7.  The bird showed an =
obvious black collar on the hindneck, dark primaries contrasting with =
the beige body, gray undertail coverts, black outer webs on the =
undertail, and a contrasting white undertail.  I happened to have my =
digital camera with me at the time, and got some photos (one of them so =
far has turned out quite well, showing the undertail).  I realize this =
may be the first record for this species north of the Minnesota River.
