Eurasian Collared Dove

SPECULATED

Streptopelia decaocto

An introduced dove that escaped a Bahamas pet shop in the 1970s and promptly colonized Leonida.

The Eurasian Collared Dove is one of Leonida's most successful invasive birds, descended from a handful of escapees that fled a Bahamas pet shop break-in in the 1970s. Their black neck-collar and three-note cooing distinguish them from the native Mourning Dove.
