Photo taken Jan 17, 2013, near Little Qualicum River Estuary Conservation Area. I hope they're not just Rock Pigeons.

Thanks in advance for your help.

You're looking at a little flock of lovely Eurasian Collared Doves there.

I agree the two on the left are Eurasian-collared doves, but it almost looks like the one on the right could be a mourning dove...
