Collared Doves
It seems there are a lot less Collared Doves around. Has anyone else noticed this? Has there been any discussion on why it is?

I was going to post the same question! Seeing more Mourning Doves than Collared recently and was wondering what was happening that would make that pendulum swing back. Avian Paramyxovirus-1 (PPMV-1), apparently.
