[EBB Sightings] a new yard bird - Eurasian Collared Dove

As I write this, an Eurasian Collared Dove is feeding on the ground in my 
backyard with the Mo Do's and the Quail, etc.
It was quite a shock for my eyes as I have just returned from 6 weeks in the 
Lake Havasu area where the collared dove is quite common.

I also had a Rufous Hummingbird just this evening at my feeder and I had 
seen them for the first time in the desert this year where they migrate 
through.

I also saw Lawrence's Goldfinches for the first time this year in the desert 
and so I am watching with bated breath for one at MY feeder.
