White Dove at the feeder.
I feed about 60-70 ring-necks behind the house. Yesterday a white ring-neck showed up. You can barley make out the ring, he's so white.

1. That's exciting!
I've never seen a white ring neck. In fact see few ring necks at all. Get a photo if you can.

2. They are getting thick around here
Running off the Mourning Dove and the White Wings. "I love them"
They stand about a inch taller than the White Wings.

3. Where are you?
Ring-necks haven't shown up in the Dallas area as yet, that I know of. White Wings showed up a few years ago and now outnumber the Mourning. Eurasian Collareds are becoming more common here too.

4. West TX
I'm confusing the ring-necks with the Eurasian, sorry. Whats hanging around here are the Eurasians. You can barely make out the ring on the white one.
The ring go's about three fourths the way, around the neck.
