Visitors to Valders Wisconsin
Eurasian Collared Dove
Streptopelia decaocto In 1970s an exotic accidentally introduced to the Bahamas quickly expanded the range into the US and dispersed. Today can be seen in many areas. Beautiful bird if I do say so, ours was nesting at the neighbors lot across the street summer of 2001. At the time there was noted to be fewer than 12 birds sighting throughout Wisconsin...Our little friend has a normal dove as her mate.
Rose-breasted Grosbeak Albino
Pheucticus ludovicianus presently in Valders
Our dear Snowy
Nyctea scandiaca , no one has seen in some time but I'm sure it'll return next winter FYI.
Pigeon or Merlin Hawk
Falco columbarius One day back in HS this strange looking bird came to rest on our cloth line poles for some 20minutes before flying away. Haven't seen it since I'm sure it was just passing threw our neighborhood that July day.
