Identify Birds: Mourning Dove vs Eurasian Collared-Dove

[@brianbarrett192]

You need to add the grating call of the Eurasian dove. It is distinctive and is part of their aggressive behavior which displaces native birds.

I saw the Eurasia Collared dove today. 😊

Wonderful!

I hear both but I’ve always wondered if there were two calls or two birds

Growing up in SE WI and then moving to AZ I noticed these Eurasian closed doves but I also noticed that one of the 2 varieties in AZ that sounds more screechy - not really a screech but don’t know how to describe it - so it must be the collared version. It’s like a caw caw sound but not like a crow. Idk! I’ll have to record and try to do a sound search. Thought one of these videos would describe it.

I always think that the white-winged dove sounds like barred owl. If that’s the sound. If it is the sheep like braying then that’s collared dove, too.
