I have seen a few very close to pure white pigeons in flight, but the doves we see here are more tannish--mourning doves.Bethany Carsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06583914285773271009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-58477232014927656542015-03-03T10:15:16.546-06:002015-03-03T10:15:16.546-06:00we had a pure white one for a while one fall, here...we had a pure white one for a while one fall, here. it was obviously hand-raised and probably released at a wedding or something as it let me get close enough to touch it once. it disappeared on the opening day of dove hunting season in texas never to be seen again. *sigh*TexWisGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13641962051044162710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-20778029551121977682015-03-02T16:01:44.869-06:002015-03-02T16:01:44.869-06:00Yes we had two in our yard.

I have had...Rick, it might be a ringed turtle-dove. I have had a couple of them nest nearby from time to time. Here is what I wrote on my blog a few years ago: <br /><br />For the past three summers, there has been a pair of ringed turtle-doves nesting nearby. We often have mourning doves in the area, but when these showed up three summers ago, I was pleased with this lighter colored bird with a quite distinctive voice, kind of a rising and falling koo-kreee. I had wrongly identified it at first, thinking it was a white-winged dove (thinking of the Stevie Nicks song), until I did some research and found that the white-winged dove’s habitat is in the west...<br /><br />When the doves first appeared, it was during a particularly trying time. I was always pleased when I was outside and heard the dove’s call as she flew. I took heart when I would look up and see her perched up in the top of the cypress tree. The dove's presence was a cheerful reminder that it's not dark yet. After that, two more summers came and heralded the arrival of the doves.
