Dear all,
we are in need of original sound recordings of the Mouring Dove.
We participate in a reintroduction program for the closely related
Socorro Dove which became extinct in the wild in the 70ties. For this
purpose we keep and breed SDs at our bird park.
In former times, SDs were often kept together with Mourning Doves so
that occasionally both species hybridized in captivity.
To cancel out the possibility that our doves are the descendants of
hybrids we conduct bioacoustical studies. In order to compare our sound
recordings with those of the bioacoustics of the Mourning Dove we would
highly appreciate to have access to original sound recordings of
the Mouring Dove.
Any help to get these data is welcome.
Martin
