According to Eugene Hunn's "Birding in Seattle and King County", Rock Doves
nesting season is from early April to mid-July. This is one of my favorite
birding books, and was used by Chris Fisher in his "Birds of Seattle and Puget
Sound". However, Hunn's Figure 1 on Changes in King County Bird Populations
1880-1980, pages 4 & 5, would seem to indicate the book is in need of an update
since it was last published in 1982.
