[mou] Eurasian Collared-Dove/Grant Co.

[Dan & Sandy Thimgan]

A Eurasian Collared-Dove is being seen in the town of Herman in Grant 
County in west-central Minnesota.  We first heard of the bird from 
Steve Millard who saw it on Friday, Mar. 21.  We saw it Saturday 
morning from 9:45 - 10:30.  It was vocalizing persistently which is how 
we first glimpsed the bird.  It even gave us plenty of time to set up a 
scope and digiscope a couple of shots.

During the time we saw the bird, it flew comfortably around the 
neighborhood surrounding St. Charles Catholic Church on the corner of 
south Berlin Avenue and Wells Street.  Steve suggested the bird likely 
feeds at the nearby elevator complex where there is lots of feed on the 
ground.
