While the species does show up occasionally around Ontario, they are by no means common and as far as I can find, this is a first for Perth county. Since their arrival on this continent they have made a remarkable expansion northward. It is rather surprising that they have not yet penetrated Ontario in greater numbers.
A day later a local birder and photographer visited and managed a variety of shots.

As of this writing the dove is still in the area. Will be interesting to see how long it stays.
