lukas began raising eyebrows almost immediately after hitting the thoroughbred game , beginning when effervescing won the $ 100 , 000 american handicap on the grass at hollywood park on july 4 , 1978 . the horse had been sore when lukas took him over , and the victory was regarded as a major training feat . one of his owners , albert yank , was euphoric over the triumph and already making plans to run the horse in chicago later in the summer . that was when lukas told him that he planned to run effervescing right back , only five days later on the dirt , in the $ 100 , 000 citation handicap .

southlake , texas - when mel hatley made a trophy presentation at the recent lone star park fall quarter horse meet , it was the first time he had attended the races in more than a decade . hatley was once one of thoroughbred racing ' s biggest players , and recently said he has not ruled out getting back in with the right kind of horse .
it was easy to spend that sort of money when you know the background the horse has had , and being from cambridge stud , from that family , i had every confidence .
in 1998 , elusive quality ran the fastest mile in history in the poker handicap at belmont park . the 5 - year - old horse was timed in 1 : 313⁄5 over a firm turf course .

hatley and lukas did business together for two decades , buying , selling , breeding , and racing horses until hatley left racing in the early 1990 ' s . the two crossed over from quarter horses in the late 1970 ' s and hatley won his first thoroughbred stakes in 1978 , with multiple graded winner effervescing . then came life ' s magic , who was the champion 3 - year - old filly of 1984 and older female of 1985 . a year later , lady ' s secret was voted horse of the year .
in 1967 , after six years of coaching basketball at logan high school in la crosse , wis . and training quarterhorses part - time , lukas quit his coaching job and threw himself into the horse business . in 1970 , he won more quarter - horse races , 73 , than any trainer in america , and for much of the ' 70s he dominated the sport . in 1975 , when he scored his 150th win of the year , the feat was celebrated because it doubled the most wins ever scored by a quarter - horse trainer in a year . along the way , lukas has trained or had a hand in training 23 world champions .
vonusti now heads towards the group 1 waikato draught sprint ( 1400m ) at te rapa on 13 february , a group 1 double which last year saw mufhasa named 2008 / 09 mercedes new zealand horse of the year .
the record priced colt was sold on thursday ( then referred to as virginia night ) as the sixth horse through the ring . the record price got a scare some seventeen yearlings later when fellow virginia consignor , peggy augustus’
with a million dollar horse to his credit it was no surprise that coolmore stud & apos ; s fastnet rock headed the sires table for the day , with three others sold for an average of $ 432 , 500 .
lukas knew the integrity of the partner he had in hatley early on , when ownership of a coveted quarter horse was decided by a coin toss at the suggestion of another owner , lamar miller , who had called hatley .

d . wayne is must reading not only for horse - racing aficionados but for everyone who finds inspiration in tales of true grit and determination along the road to the winner ' s circle of life .
- - book jacket .
his silver tongue is celebrated . bobby adair , at one time the leading quarter - horse rider in america , recalls the day at the lukas barn when the trainer was holding forth for a bunch of visiting owners . as lukas spoke , an old blacksmith was quietly shoeing a horse in the shed . at the end of lukas ' s eloquent soliloquy , the trainer and the owners departed , whereupon the blacksmith said ,
i hope i die the same day he does .
absolutely not ,
lukas said . neither was effervescing . he won the citation , and dee wayne was on his way . that was the same summer that lukas sent out terlingua , the comely daughter of secretariat , to dust the colts in the hollywood juvenile . lukas has never been shy about running his top fillies against colts , even though this cuts against the grain of traditional thinking , and he isn ' t averse to raising hackles in other ways . if he had a horse ready to run , he always ran it , against any horses he thought that it could beat . he did the same in the quarter - horse business , too .
he ' d run his horses back every five days ,
says schvaneveldt .
wayne has a motto : ' when they ' re hot , they ' re hot . you better run ' em . tomorrow they might be dead . '
on display in the hatley home are eclipse awards and photos dating back to 1965 , when hatley entered the breeding industry with quarter horse stallion triple chick . he later stood perennial leading sire go man go . his journey in the sport continued through the 1980 ' s , when horse of the year lady ' s secret was foaled at his farm , and he raced two - time champion life ' s magic in partnership . they are the horses most associated with hatley , and both were trained by d . wayne lukas .
june 30 , 1973 : three weeks after he won the triple crown , secretariat scored another victory , a nine - length win in the arlington invitational stakes at arlington park , where he was sent off at the shortest odds in his career , 1 - 20 . with no place or show wagering on the four - horse race , which was run with a three - horse field against secretariat , the track had a minus win pool of $ 17 , 941 . more than 40 , 000 spectators turned out for the event .
in addition , camp served as a director on a variety of boards including the atlantic rural exposition ( now the virginia state fair ) , the kentucky horse park , bluegrass tomorrow , the lexington triangle park and served as a district delegate to the republican state convention .

the horse hatley is best known for campaigning , however , is life ' s magic , whom he raced in partnership with klein and lukas . a multiple grade 1 winner , her greatest triumph was a 6 1 / 4 - length win over entrymate lady ' s secret in the breeders ' cup distaff in 1985 .
now , in this unauthorized biography of d . wayne lukas , sportswriter carlo devito tells the life story of the man known throughout the sports world as the
vince lombardi of horse racing .
devito traces lukas ' s career from his days as a basketball coach to his rise in quarter - horse racing , from his emergence as a driving force in thoroughbred racing to his induction in the horse racing hall of fame . he reveals the controversial strategies and business tactics d . wayne employed to wrest control of thoroughbred racing from the handful of wealthy families who had held it for two centuries . featuring photos from the lukas family and using hundreds of articles and interviews with lukas ' s rivals and fans , colleagues and competitors , wives , and friends - and even an exclusive with d . wayne himself - devito paints a fascinating portrait of a man who embodies americans ' most cherished images of themselves - self - made man , innovator , and cowboy .

hatley is a texas native who spent most of his career based in oklahoma city , where his ventures included oil , real estate development , and banking . his success enabled him to buy quality horses . hatley left racing when he started to experience health issues , and said a return is possible , provided the right young horse comes along .
hatley ' s home is filled with racing memorabilia chronicling heights in the game that few reach .
it ' s everything that everybody ever dreams about in horse racing , and he ' s so humble about his success ,
said tony bedford , a racing advisor who met hatley outside of racing this past year and invited him to lone star .
jayven had his first major success with a horse he bought from esker lodge ( revolte ) so he was happy to go on my recommendation and try again . he likes fastnet rock and loved this colt as a type and we & apos ; re thrilled that he & apos ; s had the confidence in esker to step out in such a big way .
and on and on , horse by horse . by the time lukas had overseen the training of three strings of thoroughbreds across the country , the first cock had not yet crowed at santa anita . off the phone with knight , lukas huddled with his son , jeff , his chief assistant in planning the morning orders for his grooms and exercise riders at santa anita . the two men had met , as they do every day , at 4 : 20 a . m . at an all - night doughnut shop . now , at 5 : 45 , clipboard in hand and looking like the high school and college basketball coach he once was , lukas conferred with his riders to assign them mounts in the first set of horses to go to the track .
the belmont child care association is a not - for - profit - corporation established in december 1998 to create an on - site child care center , anna house , at belmont park for the working families of new york racing association tracks . families in the horse racing industry typically start their workday before sunrise , hours before local child care centers are open , and must arrange for child care seven days a week .
lukas got there in part by daring to be unorthodox in a game in which tradition binds men to the past . he has been willing to try almost anything legal , however seemingly minute , to get an edge . hatley , a quarter - horse owner who followed lukas into the thoroughbred business , recalls a hot day at bay meadows when he was standing outside lukas ' s barn and an ice truck pulled up .
at the university of wisconsin , lukas studied phys ed on weekdays and hit the road in his pickup on weekends , looking for horses to buy and bring back to madison to sell . his father recalls attending one of those sales with his son , who bid $ 360 for a good - looking quarter horse . the bidding stalled . when the owner rejected the bid , lukas promptly upped his own offer to $ 500 .
despite the champions lukas has produced and the money and races he has won , some of his flat - racing colleagues still refer to him as that
former quarter - horse trainer .
in the thoroughbred business , that ' s one step above being adjudged a beekeeper . even worse , according to trainer john nerud , who happens to be a lukas admirer , some people in the business
probably still think of him as a basketball coach .
the horse to beat in the 56th running of this turf race over a mile and three - eighths will be presious passion , last year’s winner in this event . presious passion is a multiple stakes winner with $ 1 . 2 million in career earnings . the gelding won the united nations , the grade ii w . l . mcknight and the grade iii pan american last year . this year’s , he’s already won the grade ii mac diarmida and the monmouth stakes .
wayne was the toughest man to beat when he was here ,
says blane schvaneveldt , his chief competitor in the quarter - horse business and the leader in that game today .
tough in all brackets , claimers or good ones or whatever he had . a good horseman . a workaholic . he drives those thoroughbred guys crazy over there because they all want to sleep while he goes , goes , goes . he ' s too much for ' em .
d . wayne lukas was an unlikely contender when he burst onto the thoroughbred scene in the 1970s . always dressed to the nines and wearing his trademark sunglasses , d . wayne was as far from a kentucky blue blood as one could get . but through his questionable training methods and his unique , risky , and brilliant belief that horses could be mixed with business , d . wayne turned the racing world upside down , making team lukas the winningest formula in horse - racing history .

hatley bought the quarter horse , named native empress , who went on to win 28 races . lukas continued to train her , and while the gray mare launched hatley into racing , it was another gray mare who has to some extent defined him in the sport . lady ' s secret was foaled on hatley ' s farm in lexington , okla . she was produced from the mating of secretariat to great lady m . , a mare hatley and lukas owned at the time and leased to lady ' s secret ' s breeder , robert spreen .
you like to drink ice water when it ' s hot , don ' t you ?
lukas replied .
well , so do the horses .
hatley had been around racetracks for years , and like most people he had never seen a horse served a bucket of ice water . he pressed lukas further .
some of these races are won by a photo finish ,
lukas said .
if they enjoy fresh ice water on hot days , it might make ' em stick their noses out a little farther . i do every little thing i can to make these horses happy .
horses and ponies became the center of his life .
he could be with a horse for five minutes and have him following him around ,
bea lukas says .
he seemed to speak their language .
he raced his own pony at the antigo county fairgrounds , and as he grew older he began racing her in fairs as far north as eagle river and rhinelander , near michigan ' s upper peninsula . it was at the fairgrounds , though , that lukas spent most of his youth and got an education , watching oldtimers getting their broken - down horses ready to run on the leaky - roof circuits of the midwest .
on this particular morning , lukas swept into the barn through a back door , taking note of a derelict refrigerator as he breezed by .
what is that doing out there ?
he asked a group of workers .
well , it doesn ' t belong there . take it across the road . i don ' t want a horse getting hurt by it .
after a swing through the shed , he bounded into his office to the ringing of a telephone . it was laura cotter , his assistant in charge of his string of 40 horses at hollywood park , and for the next 10 minutes he detailed to her what he wanted done with them .
vonusti ( ustinov x reasonably , by sound reason ) won the $ 1 , 000 , 000 telegraph with a barn - storming run down the outside of trentham & apos ; s champagne turf to beat a red - hot field which included group 1 australian raider a gold trail ( hussonet ) , reigning nz horse of the year mufhasa ( pentire ) , group 1 winner tavistock ( montjeu ) , group 1 placed veloz ( black minaloushe ) and richard beymer ( volksraad ) , group winners wall street ( montjeu ) , ruud van slaats ( van nistelrooy ) , and coup align ( align ) , and listed winners wealth princess ( san luis ) , tootsie ( pins ) , stupendous ( pentire ) , and keano ( pins ) .
adair , the quarter - horse rider , recalls the time he flew to emporia , kans . to ride an unraced 2 - year - old named trouble straw for lukas in the qualifying heat for a futurity . lukas had begged him to come , saying ,
he ' s a fast colt . believe me , trust me .
fast he was , but also green as the grass outside lukas ' s barn . trouble straw won his heat , but only after he shied and ducked so badly in front of the cheering crowds that adair feared the colt was going to make a u - turn .
i ' ll take care of this ,
lukas told him .
be back here next week to get your picture taken .
an effervescing elephant with tiny eyes and great big trunk once whispered to the tiny ear the ear of one inferior that by next june he ' d die , oh yeah ! because the tiger would roam . the little one said :
oh my goodness i must stay at home ! and every time i hear a growl i ' ll know the tiger ' s on the prowl and i ' ll be really safe , you know the elephant he told me so .
everyone was nervy , oh yeah ! and the message was spread to zebra , mongoose , and the dirty hippopotamus who wallowed in the mud and chewed his spicy hippo - plankton food and tended to ignore the word preferring to survey a herd of stupid water bison , oh yeah ! and all the jungle took fright , and ran around for all the day and the night but all in vain , because , you see , the tiger came and said :
who me ? ! you know , i wouldn ' t hurt not one of you . i ' d much prefer something to chew and you ' re all to scant .
oh yeah ! he ate the elephant
clyde and i broke them and took them to sales ,
lukas says .
we went down into iowa and nebraska in an old pickup truck with a two - horse trailer—drive all night—buying and selling and trading . we ' d buy two at one sale , shampoo ' em , clip ' em , pull their manes , clean ' em up and sell ' em the next day . we ' d go through friday , saturday and sunday , and we ' d roll the money over two or three times and then try to beat the first check to the bank . i got streetwise in a hurry about horses . you learn to judge what a good one looks like and a bad one looks like and what somebody will pay and won ' t pay .

what are you doing , bidding against yourself ?
ted lukas asked .
it ' s money in the bank ,
wayne replied . he left the sales ring and called a family that he knew was looking for a horse .
he bought him for $ 500 and turned around and sold him for $ 980 ,
ted says .
he was just so sure of himself .
lukas pledged the kappa sigma fraternity , a notorious party house at wisconsin , but he never joined in the merriment .
all they did was drink beer and pinch the girls ,
lukas says .
i didn ' t have any time for that . every weekend i ' m throwing my saddle into my pickup , getting on my blue jeans and heading down the road . i was always working , always hustling , always trying to hit the sales .

of australian group 1 races at 2000m and above in the past six seasons have been won by nz bred or sold 3yos .
a staggering sale week at karaka last week saw pre - sale expectations thoroughly surpassed , from vendors to buyers to casual observers seeing no signs of recession dampening spirited trade at new zealand bloodstock & apos ; s annual yearling showcase .
at each level of the seven - day sale - the premier , select and festival sessions - there were significant increases on last year & apos ; s figures , combining to post a dramatic turnaround in the results after last year & apos ; s downturn .
in total , 1621 yearlings were catalogued for the 2010 sales series , 89 lots less than last year . in the final breakdown , turnover for the sale increased almost $ 20 million to $ 93 , 567 , 400 , 25 % up on the 2009 figure with 70 fewer horses sold .
the combined sale average increased 33 % to finish at $ 82 , 876 , the second highest in nzb history . a healthy $ 12 , 000 ( 40 % ) increase in median to $ 42 , 000 also signalled the strength and depth witnessed in the middle market .
amongst its highlights , the sale saw the first million - dollar lots of the australasian yearling sales season . with nzb still holding the australasian record of $ 3 . 6 million for a yearling sold at auction in the southern hemisphere , the top price of $ 2 million this year ( lot 373 ) became the third - equal highest yearling to ever go through the karaka ring .

new zealand bloodstock co - managing director petrea vela summed up the sale company & apos ; s take on the week .
it has been a phenomenal week in the world of new zealand thoroughbreds . we & apos ; ve had so many buyers and vendors tell us that this was the strongest sale they & apos ; ve ever been to in new zealand .
many of the factors that contributed to our records in 2008 weren & apos ; t present this year , instead we were coming off a recession and there were still a question mark over the extent to which our industry had recovered . but it would seem that the combination of the consistent success by nz horses , the great crop of yearlings presented , and the nz dollar have made nz as attractive a market as it has ever been .
the magic ingredient this week was no doubt the force of the australian buyers . nz middle - distance and staying horses are making such an impression there that there was overwhelming demand for those types of horses . we are very fortunate as an industry to have a market with that sort of firepower right on our doorstep , and hope this week & apos ; s investment pays dividends for that support .

the staggering results of day one at new zealand bloodstock & apos ; s premier sale flowed into day two today at karaka , with a $ 2 million colt by new zealand & apos ; s own champion sire zabeel eclipsing yesterday & apos ; s millionaire lot .
the third - equal highest price ever to go through the karaka sale ring , lot 373 from the danehill mare diamond like was knocked down to the bid of sydney - based bloodstock agent james bester .
2010 karaka premier $ 2 million sale - topper - lot 373 by zabeel from diamond like .
what attracted me to this colt was his quality . physically he & apos ; s the best yearling i have ever seen in the southern hemisphere .
chiefly i buy on conformation and this colt was exceptional , but to also present with the best page in the sale is extraordinary . zabeel on danehill is outstanding , and a very fast mare more to the point to counter zabeel & apos ; s staying influence .
bester purchased the colt for a small group of australian owners who race horses with a number of trainers and are yet to decide the lucky stable that this colt will join .
one of lot 373 & apos ; s underbidders , david ellis , was more successful later on in the sale when he secured lot 431 for the second highest price of the day at $ 1 , 300 , 000 .
the redoute & apos ; s choice three - quarter brother to darci brahma offered by pencarrow stud will form part of a syndicate of four colts purchased by ellis over the past two days .
ellis was equally enamoured with both of today & apos ; s top colts .
they were both outstanding colts prepared by the best studs in the southern hemisphere and it was impossible for me to split them . but i & apos ; m thrilled to have got this one . he has the same qualities as darci brahma and has been a beautiful individual since the day he was born .
it has been extremely hard work competing with the aussies over the last couple of days . the sale has been incredibly strong but we & apos ; re delighted with our selection .
the strength of the karaka sale was evidenced by another set of remarkable figures from today & apos ; s trade , with the final average the second highest in history at $ 183 , 119 , up 26 % on last year & apos ; s $ 145 , 710 .
turnover was up a massive $ 10 million for fewer horses sold , representing a 22 . 5 % increase from $ 53 , 330 , 000 to $ 63 , 373 , 500 .
the sale median ended up at $ 135 , 000 , up 35 % on last year & apos ; s $ 100 , 000 , and the clearance rate climbed steadily to 79 % , ahead of last year & apos ; s 77 % .
with a buying bench stacked full of international buyers , it was kiwis graeme rogerson and david ellis who took top honours .

birders should know more of their distinct traits , however , to be confident in telling mourning doves apart from other doves that look similar .
i saw collared doves in the boise idaho area for the first time today . about 10 individuals in 2 small groups . we have mourning doves at our feeders frequntly but have not seen collards greens yet . fish and game is nervous about them . ted lane , boise
5 . like most pigeons , collared doves are chiefly vegetarian , finding most of their food from the ground or on bird tables .
the monotonous , loud cooing song of the collared dove sounds like
coo - coo - coo

i reside in west central montana , in semi - arid prickly pear valley , just under the divide on the east side , a formerly predominently agricultural area , now with much human habitation , and many large deciduous and coniferous trees . about 3 years ago i sighted the first collared eurasian dove here , in an area then populated by many mourning doves . i have not seen , nor heard , a mourning dove for over a year . i have many feeders on the property , and this winter have had a flock of about 20 to 25 collareds visiting and consuming whole kernel corn morning and evening .
the mourning dove probably gets its name from its haunting

we live maybe 10 miles east of salem , oregon . there has been a pair of eurasian collared doves hanging out in our backyard for at least two years . i thought they had been rare here , but it sounds like they are not as rare now . when we first saw them we thought they were pigeons . they looked too big for doves and some bird books didn’t show the willamette valley as a home for the eurasian collared dove . looking at the pictures in the books , i knew they had to be doves . i see them mingling with the smaller mourning doves . occasionally they will chase the mourning doves away , but most of the time they leave each other alone .
fairly large dove with pale underparts , gray undertail coverts , and broad white band at tip of tail .

for the past 2 years i have had a single eurasion collared dove at my feeders in the spring in fort nelson , british columbia . this year he / she seems to be staying for the winter . am wondering how they make out in extreme cold ?
general description : mourning doves are blue - gray birds about the size of a robin . they have small heads , large breasts , and a pointed tail .
realize the parents are watching them . of course they should be left alone if they have not been injured or are not in obvious danger . this page was added to the web site in the spring of 1999 when we first started receiving a large number of inquiries about mourning doves and their babies . now during the spring and summer months the majority of our mail is concerned with mourning doves rather than the pet dove species .
click here to go to the mourning dove baby growth page to see a series of photos taken by casey musser in springfield , missouri . these photos show the appearance of babies at the ages of 4 , 6 , 7 , 10 , 11 , and 12 days .
why are doves banded ? banding tells the year the dove was hatched . bands are excellent for record keeping .
many people ended have up taking in abandoned or injured baby doves , as mourning dove babies are very vulnerable to attacks by predators after their parents leave the nest and also during their first two or three days on the ground . some babies are picked up because people do not
donna–eurasian collared - doves are doing well in the far north . many survive the winter in alaska and british columbia as long as they have access to food .
much of the published information seems to indicate not much problem with competition with native species , but i believe they have replaced mourning doves in some locations that i frequent .
dove fields on wmas are available on a first - come , first - served basis . wma acreage put into dove fields is relatively small because most hunters only pursue doves the first few days of the season . however , after opening weekend of dove season , many wildlife species feed in the fields , particularly those that were topsown with winter wheat .
will dove species interbreed ? no , unless forced to by isolating them . cross - species breeding is exceedingly rare .
collared doves are sedentary , though young often move westwards on becoming independent , which helps to explain its relentless spread across europe and britain in such a short time .
eurasian collared doves are an introduced species that are not protected under federal law . they ' ve become quite common in the phoenix area over the past few years .
west central illinois . we had two last year . three this week plus a strange smaller brown and white splotched dove .
why are some dove species so active ? some species are just more hyper . bleeding hearts are always on the move .
the chart shows that collared doves visit the garden throughout the year , but more so in the winter months , probably because food is scarcer in the parks and woodlands .
“on the early run this morning , at 8 . 30 a . m . , i only caught 10 mourning doves , and nothing else . the two species seem to be picking different times to utilize this artificial food source . i have not witnessed any physical battles between the species here , but folks have told me they have seen whitewings chase mourning doves away from food at backyard feeding stations . with the increase in eurasians , maybe the mourning doves ' access to food and water is being limited . maybe the mourning doves are being pushed out into the ranch country , and anywhere there are trees and plentiful water , the other species being taken over .
dickerson talked as he pulled doves from the traps .
i have recently , twice in the last week , had a pair visit my backyard and mingle with the mourning doves and other birds i put food out for . beautiful birds .
we harvest eurasian doves in the fall . this past fall we noticed two of the birds appeared to be hybridized with mourning doves showing features of both . has this been documented elsewhere ?
once a pair of mourning doves have located a nest site , they will construct a nest made of twigs and sticks in a tree or sometimes on the ground . as mentioned above ,

many people write in and ask about the weight of a mourning dove they have and if the dove they have rescued is growing adequately . these curves display a rough approximation of dove age vs . weight . if you copy and print out this graph you can plot your dove ' s weight over his estimated age for several days . if the slope of your data is the same ( parallel ) as the slope of the graph data then his growth should be considered adequate . it should not matter if your curve is higher or lower than the graph curve because you probably do not know the birds hatch date . ( these curves were developed from a number of data points written in various research papers )
eurasian collared - doves perch on telephone poles , wires , and in large trees and give incessant three - syllable coos . their strong flight pattern features bursts of clipped wingbeats and looping glides . when walking these doves bob their heads and flick their tails . eurasian collared - doves often feed at backyard seed feeders and on spilled grain in stockyards and around silos .
i am from bloomington , illinois ( central part ) and today i saw a eurasian collared dove . at first i thought it was an owl because of the sound it was making . it was sitting on top of the light post which is quite high . after seeing the black collar and the squared tail , i decided to see what kind of dove it was . it didn’t stay long , so i guess it was just passing through .
from bill cartwright , dunsmuir , calif my brother and i have been dove hunters since the 1940’s in san diego county and the colorado river area . we now live in northern california . we saw two ecd’s in corning five years ago . since then we have discovered that these birds congregate around piles of almond shells . they devour great quantities of almond pieces and they taste wonderful . as the ecd is considered an invasive species of dove ther4e is no limit placed on how many you can take . on ope4nin day 2011 we killed many ecd’s and never even saw a regular mourning dove .

collared doves cooing in early spring are sometimes mistakenly reported as the calls of early - arriving cuckoos , this call being traditionally regarded as a sign of spring in many parts of europe .
hello all , i just visited sitka , alaska for a 5 day fishing trip . i heard the dove call the first day , and thought that someone had a pet dove…then spotted it up in a tree . i called a dan gibson in fairbanks , and he told me it was the eurasian collared dove . sure enough , my photos confirmed this . there were at least 15 - 20 in the immediate area , and they were very active in breeding / courtship . one of the people there said that they showed up about 2 - 3 years ago , and stay the winter .
i live in south central idaho and these birds are here year around . the have pushed the mourning doves out of town and are horribly messy ! have been here now about five years or so

seeds , greens and some fresh fruit should be provided . this dove prefers to forage on the ground but will use elevated food trays .
the mourning dove ' s food is predominantly seeds of cultivated crops such as corn , milo , wheat , sorgum , millet , peas , etc . weed and grass seeds are eaten when cultivated crops are not available . the doves always eat their food from the ground ; they normally never peck it off a plant . i have seen doves eating pine seed that had been dropped out of helicopters for direct seeding purposes on national forest lands and goodwin reports that mourning doves have been seen eating pine seed out of cones still on the tree .
all i have left here are sparrows and a few robins . with a very few mourning doves . what is the natural predator ? if they have any ? does anyone reading this know the answer ?
eurasian collared - doves are native to southern asia . they were introduced in the bahamas in the 1970s ( escaped from the pet trade ) , and subsequently spread to south florida . from florida they are moving across all of north america . eurasian collared - doves are very successful invaders . they conquered much of europe since the 1950s and continue to expand their range in europe as well .
the mourning dove is common and widespread at low elevations throughout eastern washington , and fairly common but local in western washington . some birds may be seen year round on the east and the west sides of the mountains , but they are less common in the winter . migrants return in march and early april and leave at the end of september .
dove babies don’t gape ( open their mouth ) like songbirds . they stick their head into the parent’s mouth and slurp up the crop milk . when you pick up a hungry baby dove , he will probably try to poke his beak between your fingers as he’s looking for food .

mourning doves are common birds in the united states and southern canada throughout the year , though very northern populations may migrate as far as the yucatan peninsula or central america . if food is abundant , these birds may not migrate . preferred habitats are open forest or farmland , but mourning doves are easily adaptable to suburban areas and parks , and are especially fond of open gravel or dirt areas for sunning and roosting .
young doves that are scalped or killed wander into the territory of another dove . shrubbery provides hiding places for young doves from more aggressive adults .
i have a pair of eurasian collared doves at my feeder every morning . i live in ford washington in the middle of the wooded area . we are within walking distance of the long lake dam .
i’m in southeastern washington and have seen eurasian collared doves here for several years . last winter i had ten to fifteen at a time at my feeders and a nearby neighbor has them nesting on his property . ( he has large trees , only one tree on my place . ) there are also a fair number of mourning doves here year round , so it seems the two species are getting along pretty well .
another clue to having two males would be if he wing boxes the new intruder . i have not seen a male dove wing box a female .
the mourning dove is a characteristic edge species , occurring in largest densities in pine plantations , shelter belts , and fence rows . they also are found in residential settings where the make their nests in ornamental trees and on buildings . they prefer open areas for feeding where seed can be found on bare ground and the also like to be near a water source such as a stream , pond , or river . in recent times there seems to be a movement of dove populations from farmlands to suburban areas . mourning doves seem to thrive on back yard feeders and also seem to like to build nests on or very close to human habitation . it almost seems like they believe being close to humans offers some protection from their natural predators .
eurasian collared - doves are able to withstand winter temperatures of well down into the 30s’ below zero in minnesota . from their first record in 1996 they now inhabit most of the bottom half of the state with being further north in the western half . total they have been found in over 60 % 0f the counties in the state . as mourning doves have always been uncommon in the winter ( although they are becoming more common in the winter ) there is little interaction with the overwintering collared - doves . flocks of more than 25 are found where ever a good food source is available , usually grain elevators and grain storage areas .
the mourning dove gets its name from its low , mournful “ooo - ahhh crooo - ooo - ooo” call , though other calls include a low , rapid coo when in distress and a rapid , high wing whistle when the birds take flight . these birds are often mistakenly called

we live in philomath , or on the west side of the willamette valley ( 44 . 544667 , - 123 . 377366 ) . we have lived here for about 17 years and in the last week we began hearing a dove call that we did not recognize . as of yesterday we have confirmed that we have at least 3 eurasian collared doves using the area around our house . we have some concern about their presence because we have mourning doves and band - tailed pigeons in the area . lets hope the lab’s conclusion is correct that they won’t compete with our native species , or hybridize .
i live on the northern california coast , in mendocino county , and have watched this increase in population of the eurasian collared dove literally * explode * since about 2004 . when our birding list on yahoo groups began reporting the birds showing up at feeders well south of us , i knew we’d be seeing them up here very soon . in 2009 , i traveled down the coast to the central coast ( santa barbara co . ) and saw eurasian collared doves at just about every stop along the way between here and there . this was on the coast highway . ( highway one ) .
collared doves are now such common visitors to the garden , imagining that this bird did not live in britain before the early 1950s is difficult . one reason for this is their long breeding season : march to october .
we are 18 miles nw of seattle . we had a few pair of ecd last year , but we have bigger , fatter ones this year . they seem to co - exist well with the band tailed pigeons and mourning doves
i first spotted a single dove 2 summers ago , photographed it but was unaware of eurasian collared at that time . we now have 4 that frequent our garden , ( courtenay , bc , north / mid - vancouver island ) and can identify their call everywhere in town , and in the rural areas around us . i could , and do , listen to them for hours .
eurasian collared - doves eat mainly seed and cereal grain such as millet , sunflower , milo , wheat , and corn . they also eat some berries and green parts of plants , as well as invertebrates . back to top
what are some of the most common signs that a dove is ill ? appearing fluffed up or droopy , having watery green droppings are some common signs of illness . upon seeing a dove that looks and acts sick , isolate it and put it under a heat source ( 40 watt bulb ) . heat is vital for a sick dove . if it is not eating , feed it hand - feeding formula ( exact pretty bird , etc . ) , and take it to an avian veterinarian .
i stumbled upon this website in search of more info a white eurasion collard - dove that has been living near our house for several weeks . my husband kept telling me i was seeing a pigeon , but tonight we have confirmed i was not nutty . it is a white eurasion collard - dove . we live in southwest idaho .
dickerson is a texas parks and wildlife department biologist who is participating in a state - wide research banding project on doves . dove hunting is big business in texas . “we hope to learn several things – we gain some insight regarding local dove reproduction , how long the birds might live , local hunter harvest levels , and migration patterns .
mourning doves are one of the most common and perhaps most loved of all the doves found in the united states . their mournful call can be heard throughout the day during the summer months in most states . they are well known for their peaceful
they frequently congregate in medium to large flocks , particularly after the nesting season when family groups may combine . mourning doves also enjoy sunning and may stretch out one or both wings or fan their tails to soak up the sun ' s rays .
my husband and i have been feeding birds for about 10 years now . we are near marion , illinois . just this week we are feeding two nesting pairs of eurasian collared doves . they are wonderful to watch and very beautiful .
i’m in eureka , ca , located on the coast about 90 miles s of the oregon border . just recently i’ve noticed one visiting my backyard eating seed from underneath the feeders . i have a flock of mourning doves and some band - tailed pigeons , so when i first spotted it i thought it was different and snapped a couple of photos for my records . after reading this post , i pulled up the pictures and sure enough , it’s a eurasian collared - dove . i don’t know where it nests . i live in a suburb next to a forested area composed of douglas fir and redwood trees with fairly mild weather year - round .
one avianweb visitor , michele meisler , reported that this dove is abundant on malcolm island , a small island on the canadian west coast . another beautyofbird ( avianweb ) visitor , kathleen , wrote in that for the first time the eurasian collared doves have been sighted in ketchikan alaska . in fact , several sightings have been made so they are assuming a
flock
of them came up this spring .
there is one , possibly more collared doves living by dundee hill in port townsend , wa . i’ve heard it’s coo for weeks now , and finally had a visual identification yesterday . this is the first year i have seen them here .
he continued , “according to our long - term survey data using a coo count method , it appears there is a gradual decline in mourning doves . biologists with texas parks and wildlife are currently being trained to use a different method of surveying that removes some observer bias . if the birds are indeed declining some possible reasons include large scale chages in existing habitat , actual loss of habitat due to agriculture and human developments , and possibly increased competition with the white - winged doves and the eurasian collared dove that have moved into west texas in the last decade or two .
the eurasians just showed up less than 10 years ago , while the whitewings came in the early 1980s .
dickerson knelt at another trap , opened the trapdoor and grabbed another whitewing . when i went with him at 10 . 30 a . m to his trapline he caught 49 whitewinged doves , 3 eurasian doves , and no mourning doves .
