White Dove

This & next: where Tortugas and the Organs seem to intersect
Bit chilly this morning when Dr. K, Willow and I set off on the daily trek; fortunately the wind wasn't strong even though the sunshine didn't find us until the end of the hike.  We saw the Basset People + 1 down in the Tellbrook Arroyo when we were heading up the right branch arroyo.  The highlight of the outing occurred when we reached home and spotted a white dove on the telephone line across from our drive.  At first I thought it was a leucistic White-winged Dove, but some later research revealed it to be a leucistic Eurasian Collared-Dove--the first we've ever seen.
