I don’t usually feel regret at seeing a new state/island bird, but mixed emotions over this morning’s sighting of a (vocal) EURASIAN COLLARED-DOVE out here on Monhegan, last seen flying toward Jamie Wyeth’s house. (Did this invasive species already manage to displace the WHITE-WINGED DOVE that was being seen here through Saturday?) (That’s a joke.)

Still present as of 4:40. First heard from Horn Hill and then seen preening in a large dead snag towards Donna's house. A search near Donna's house at 5:00 did not yield the bird but it is still on the island.
