EVER SEEN A DOVE LIKE THIS?

The grand prize of being the smartest guy on the forums. ( but you were in Hawaii last year so you KINDA had an advantage ).
Not saying you were cheating

We have Chinese Spotted Dove in Orange County too. Just around town. They are almost always seen in pairs. I shot a few with my BB gun when I was a kid and their neck would be full of dog food from people’s back yards. They are almost as big as a common pigeon. I think I did see a few in Hawaii too.

He looks delicious!

Nice looking bird. Looks like it would make a tasty dish.
