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

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.
