I was out looking for a few first-of-year birds this morning at the Batavia Waste Water Treatment Plant when I heard about a Eurasian-collared Dove up in Wilson, NY. I finished up at the treatment plant and quickly zoomed up to Wilson to see if I could catch sight of this nice and unusual bird for Western New York.

Photos of the dove and some of the sightings at the treatment plant are below.
