Mourning Dove

I'm sorry Patti but the news is worse than you think. The only cure is bird more out the window or if symptoms persist, join your local Audubon group. You will not regret it.

Hello Patti5 and Welcome to the Project Noah community!
We hope you like the website as much as we do. There are many aspects to the site and community. The best way to get started is to read the FAQs at http://www.projectnoah.org/faq where you can find all the tips, advice and "rules" of Project Noah. You, like the rest of the community, will be able to suggest IDs for species that you know (but that have not been identified), and make useful or encouraging comments on other users' spottings (and they on yours).
There are also "missions" you can join and add spottings to. See http://www.projectnoah.org/missions . A mission you should join is the http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/2165... to chose the best wild photo of 2018,only the spottings added to that mission are eligible.Note that most missions are "local". Be sure not to add a spotting to a mission that was outside of mission boundaries or theme :) Each mission has a map you may consult showing its range. We also maintain a blog archive http://blog.projectnoah.org/ where we have posted previous articles from specialists from different geographical areas and categories of spottings, as well as wildlife "adventures".
So enjoy yourself, share, communicate, learn. See you around :)

Hi Robert! Thank you for the ID, I've never seen a leucistic bird in person, I've heard of them and seen pictures but never thought I'd be fortunate enough to see one in my yard. I just started birding two years ago and I find that every time I approach my "bird watching window", I almost feel that same excitement like a kid on Christmas morning.

PS along with the red-winged Blackbird, and the Brown-headed Cowbird. Nice collection in such a tight shot.

it looks like a leucistic mourning dove.
