Commentary

Hi Alison, the pictures you sent are indeed Eurasian collared doves. We have received reports of these birds in the Portland, Corvallis and northwest coast areas of Oregon. I will forward your report on to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. Thank you for your report!

Location

Two new birds, which I believe to be Eurasian collared doves, have been visiting my bird feeder on the northeast side of Corvallis for the past three mornings. They're too heavy for the bird feeder itself but have been eating some of the seeds that fall to the ground. I managed to take a picture of them this morning, which I've included with this report.
