Hello,

Someone mentioned that I should post a note to you about the White winged
dove I saw in the San Juan Islands on Saturday July 19th.

As we were sitting in camp on Cypress Island a dove walked into camp. It
proceeded to jump up on one our kayaks to sit on the rudder. At first I
thought Mourning Dove but after closer observation I came to the conclusion
that it was a white-winged dove. The orange eye with the bright blue eye ring
was very distinctive. Then when it flew the conclusion was confirmed with the
large white wing patches very visible. Cool sighting and I wouldn't have
dreamed to see it there.
