Fourth in a series about dove species in west Texas. Eurasian Collared-Dove. (Streptopelia decaocto). Common in San Angelo area but not in great numbers. In fact, upon investigation this the only usable image that I have in my files. The largest of the local dove species, it is pale tan in color with a black half-collar.
