Letter from Marty Mitchell
Wildlife – August 2002 – Colorado Central Magazine
I stand corrected. After talking with Susan Tweit and “birding” with Virginia Simmons (Monte Vista), we’ve concluded our bird is actually the Eurasian Collared Dove.
The new Sibley guide provides a good comparison with the Ringed Turtle…. Looks like we have a few mating pairs — cool! The “Owens” sighting still stands, however.
Hope you’re staying out of the smoke there.
