White Winged Dove
Carlsbad, NM - Gardens - White Winged Dove The white winged dove [Zenaida Asiatica] is a dove whose native range extends from the south-western United States through Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean. In recent years with increasing urbanization and backyard feeding, it has expanded throughout Texas, into Oklahoma, Louisiana and coastal Mississippi and it has also been introduced to Florida. The white-winged dove is expanding outside of its historic range into Kansas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and northern New Mexico. The dove's range has even expanded drastically northward into Canada. While the dove was introduced to Alberta, it still remains a common spring and summer visitor in Southern Alberta and Saskatchewan.

on October 13, 2016Those White Wings are so pretty, and a bit larger than our more "native" Mourning Doves. The White Wings are more plentiful in central & southern Texas although we're starting to see some around here too. Beautiful photo!
