White-winged Dove - Golden - Jeffco

Birders

As I was looking out the back of the house this morning I saw a Eurasian CD fly one way and land and then a darker gray bird flew the other way and landed without raising its tail.  At first I thought it was a flicker and just to make sure I grabbed some binocs and when I finally located it in the branches, it turned out to be a WW Dove.  It changed position and moved deeper into the branches but stayed in the trees in my neighbors yard.  

This is the 2nd time I've had a WWDO in the yard. The 1st time was years ago and only for 1 day.
