thank you very much for the post of a great project, have a great weekend
Like the range maps..for instance the Eurasian Collared-Dove hasn't made it to the north east yet..
The Eurasian Collared-Doves are bigger than the Mourning Doves. I think they are slightly smaller than pidgeons.
Have a great week!
Hive on!
Mike
