In the 12/11/16 eBird Alert Massachusetts Rare
Bird Alert <daily> list that included 11 sightings of two White-winged
Doves, the question was asked, “first for multiple at one time in MA?” The
answer is NO!! On August 20, 2016 I looked out at my feeders and thought I
was seeing double. I was. There were two White-winged doves sitting
side by side. I posted on eBird and included photos (Checklist #
S31163952). I saw both together the next day, then just one through
8/28.
So now I have a question: could this be the same pair?!
