White-winged doves are a daily sight where I live. Once I saw one escape a pursuing red-shouldered hawk by flying directly at a moving car and pulling away at the last moment. Really incredible bird!
I love hearing these guys,.
These are the birds that "sound like home" to me
I have one that built a nest in my port light and just hatched babies on fathers day! Love watching them from my patio door. So fascinating! !
The white winged dove is the quintessential bird of the Rio Grande Valley! I have lived in the RGV my whole life, and so many people here love this bird for many reasons, including its nostalgia!
Many people that I have talked to have remarked that this bird and its distinctive coo brings them right back to their childhood, especially bringing back cherished memories of spending time with their parents and grandparents when they were younger. This bird is so abundant down here, but every time I see one, I can't help but smile...
I have them as well as mourning and Eurasian collared doves in northwestern Oklahoma! Their range must really be expanding a lot!
I have numerous WW Doves at my feeder every day.
I recently saw many of these birds in Costa Rica. Nice!
I always love hearing these guys and the less common mourning dove outside my window in the SE Texas suburbs. If you're careful not to spook them, you can catch them foraging on the gravel path at my neighborhood park. Very cute and beautiful birds ❤.
JUST LIKE A WHITE WINGED DOOOVE! :D
The population of WW doves at the Houston Zoo is so large that their singing almost drowns out the other sounds at the zoo, especially in the heavily shaded areas where there are lots of live oak trees. I live very close to there and I’ve had one individual dove visiting my balcony about twice a day for the past two seasons (to eat the seed I put out for the finches.) It knows me and will approach the window if there’s no seed and wait for me to put more out. I’ve also seen it do simple problem solving. Surprising creature.
They love to visit my yard in Phoenix. They're surprisingly intelligent for a dove. If they see another species getting food, they will learn by watching them. Ours figured out not only how to perch on a feeder meant for finches, but also how to open the doors. Even when taped shut, the doves keep picking at the tape to hopefully get to the seeds inside.
Their range recently increased to my parish! I see some almost every week now.
i live outside of phoenix, these doves come to my yard all the time along with mourning doves, inca doves, eurasian collared doves, and various sparrows, finches and other birds. the white-winged doves will often be aggressive towards the Eurasian collared doves and mourning doves and will chase them around batting at them with their wings. completely ignoring the other birds eating the seeds
I’m a Tucson birder. They’ve nested in my yard every year since I was a child. My favorite thing is when the saguaro fruit is ripe they do a daily migration. Out to the national park and back to the city before dark. They also talk to each other in the middle of the night. Go to bed y’all
So happy you mentioned Stevie Nicks lmao
We have them year round here in central Texas
I have seen these but it was decades ago now - however it was a VERY nice moment. A sizeable flock flew over and landed in a patch of cactus, where they just kind of hung out for a while, not ten feet from the trail we were walking at the time. This was back in the 1980s, but it WAS in the Sonoran desert, near the south border of Arizona. At the time I mostly noticed how quiet they were and how they seemed strangely interested in us humans, something I hadn't seen since living in NYC. I'd been under the impression that only Manhattan pigeons were so fearless and plucky, but I've learned better since then, haha!
These are beautiful doves. They have been spotted throughout southwest Ontario Canada and are listed as possible breeding
Isn't there a popular song having these birds mentioned?
You mean the Stevie Nicks song we talk about in this video?
They're further north on the Great Plains than the map shows. NW Texas to NE Oklahoma.
I saw a white-winged dove on my back porch eating birdseed. They sometimes come through south Alabama.
Beautiful birds, my favorite to hunt big ol birds
MODO > WWDO. it's a nostalgia thing, sry
Agreed
Super cute bird love seeing them in the spring/summer good vid guys
