Greetings Greg et al.
But was it an Emerald Dove, a Common Emerald Dove or a Pacific Emerald Dove?
The bane of my recent avian taxonomic life. See my recent Twitter [or was
it Facebook] post.
Cheers

Subject: Emerald Dove at Coutts Crossing, NSW
Today I observed an adult male Emerald Dove walking on the ground in
our backyard in the village of Coutts Crossing at 16:05 hrs, it disappeared
when I rushed to get the camera/scope. It reappeared at 16:35 hrs walking on
the path near our bird bath at our back door. It disappeared again as I went
for the camera. This is our first backyard record of the species, my first
for the Coutts Crossing area and my first for the Clarence Valley for some
years. This bird appears to be a rare, unpredictable, visitor to the
Clarence Valley, north coast NSW.
Regards
Greg
