smittyone@cox.net Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 (edited) They were seen today at DeSoto NWR near Missouri Valley, IA. One is clearly smaller and darker than the other--younger bird maybe? Edited August 17, 2021 by smittyone@cox.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quiscalus quiscula Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Yes indeed. The slender shape and black spots on wings still point Mourning Dove juvenile. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
