White-winged Dove - Richmond, BC

In the North West corner of Richmond, BC is a fantastic little park call Terra Nova, that turns up great birds during the year with this year being no exception. This White-winged dove is usually found in the dry climates of the southern US and south into Central America and the Caribbean. (Range Map)  The first time I put this bird on my life list was in Dominican Republic. I never thought I would get to see it in my back yard. It appears that this dove, like others in its family have moved into cities and town where feeders are available. The White strip down the wing is the tell tale sign to tell the difference from other North American doves along with the square tail.
