floraphile Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 11 March 2020. Dauphin Island, AL. Hi, All. There were 2 very bulky birds in this pine near the parking lot of a public pier. They were being harried mecilessly by crows resulting in one of the unknowns flying off before I could snap a pic. I thought at first they were buteos, but the tail on this one...?

floraphile Posted March 11, 2020 Author Share Posted March 11, 2020 Lol. Well, there was a raptor there on the inner part of the branch before it flew off. I didn't notice this-bird-that-turned-out-to-be-a-dove until I got home and looked at the pics on my computer--I just assumed it was the same type of bird that flew off.
