2nd Round

Weisse – Reject, natural occurrence questionable

The tameness described makes me wonder about origin on this individual and I’d like to hear what others think before accepting this record.

Cliff Weisse--Accept

I agree that the field marks described are conclusive and I can see how a bird would act tame at a feeder so I'm changing my vote to accept.

The desription fits that of a Band-tailed Pigeon.

I'm still convinced.

convincing description

Carlisle--Accept

sounds good for BTPI and I think this species can behave in a tame way (maybe esp. if lost) and has been previously seen @ feeders

Dave Trochlell--Accept

I thought the description was detailed enough to be convincing.

Dave Trochlell--Accept

I'm still convinced.

Chuck Trost--Accept

The size, coloration, and bill/feet color all seem to fit this species.

chuck trost--Accept

The description still sounds convincing. I don't know of any captive band-tails.

Darren Clark--Accept

Written description supports Band-tailed Pigeon and eliminates similar species.

Darren Clark--Accept

Although these birds aren't usually that tame. Everything in the description points towards this being a Band-tailed Pigeon.
