While birding with Marc Hoffman at Marymoor this morning, Marc called me
back to see a Ringed Turtle-Dove he spotted where the boardwalk meets up
with the lake. At first glance, I thought it was a Eurasian-Collared Dove,
but it's definitely the smaller 11" model with lighter primaries.

It approaches very close, but avoids hands moving toward it. As one would
expect, it's very likely an escapee.

Still . . . not something you see every day.
