I spotted a bird I do not usually see at my bird feeders, an Eurasian Collared-Dove.

Seldom Seen
Even though Nebraska is well within the year-round range of the Eurasian Collared-Dove, I rarely see one at my bird feeders. I was fortunate enough to spot the Eurasian Collared-Dove at the feeders this day. However, I was not close to the camera in the window. I knew that if I made any quick moves I could scare the Eurasian Collared-Dove away. So I slowly crept up on the camera to take a few photos and a video clip.

The Eurasian Collared-Dove is bigger than a Mourning Dove and slightly smaller than a pigeon.
