Message: In Duchesne, Utah, there is a pair of Eurasian Collared Doves, 
living somewhere near Indian Canyon Highway and 300 South.  They are very 
easy to find, and I see them often.  They are almost always on the power 
lines.  They have been there for some time, and the most recent sighting I 
have was on June 27.  I am 100% certain of this identification, as they 
display the standard characteristics of the species, including mousy colored 
feathers, with the standard collar on the neck.

This location in duchesne is also an excellent place to spot Common 
Nighthawks.  Around dusk on June 27th, I spotted at least 8 or 9 of them 
flying above the neighborhood.  I am not sure where they nest, but assume it 
is on the nearby hill.  To spot them from this location, look toward the 
south, toward the hills.  They are very easy to find, as there are so many 
of them that come out.

Thanks

Casey Lance
