[mou] White-winged Dove update

[Kim R. Eckert]

Bill Tefft called me to report that there was an unconfirmed report today
(May 8) of a White-winged Dove near Ely, presumably the same individual
which was seen at a feeder two weeks ago. The observer, who is the same
person with the feeder, said the dove was flying along the Fernberg Trail /
Lake Co Rd 18, somewhere between Fall Lake Rd and Pea Soup L. This is a
4-mile stretch of road, about 5-9 miles E of Ely. The area is about 10
miles W of where the dove was seen at the feeder along the Moose Lake Rd.

Until today, the observer told Bill he had not seen the dove after it left
his yard two weeks ago. The original ID then was apparently correct, since
it was seen by m.ob. and possibly photographed, but Bill said he does not
know the observer or his abilities very well, nor does he know how well the
dove was seen today or what field marks were observed. Bill had no time
today to try and relocate the bird, but he said he might have time tomorrow
and would provide further updates if there is any news.
