WHITE-WINGED DOVE IN KANSAS
There are currently 69 records of White-winged Dove from 36 counties. Of these, there are only 4 prior to the 1990’s, with a total of 55 between April 1999 and July 31, 2004 alone. This includes the first attempted nesting of the species in the state, in Atchison County during May and June 2001. The nest was partially destroyed during a storm and a single smashed egg was found on the ground below the nest. This egg is now in the collection at the Natural History Museum of the University of Kansas at Lawrence. Although the birds remained in the area until, at least mid June, no sign of a second nesting attempt was found.
In May of 2004 the 2nd nesting record for the state and the 1st to produce fledged young occurred in Garden City, Finney County.
Anyone finding this species in the state should report it on KSBIRD-L, or in an e-mail to me at ictinia@swbell.net. Updated 31 July 2004.
