I found a Mourning Dove this evening in Southlands, along the river trail at the end of Celtic. I had seen two Eurasian Collared-doves less than an hour earlier, but I could quickly tell just seeing this bird in flight that it was smaller and slimmer. It perched for a bit, and I got a few photos, before it took off across McCleery Golf Course. I saw it again a bit later, in the same area, and it took off again in the same direction. Rather skittish, but I could hear its wings, letting me know it was there.
I also found a few Wilson's Warblers among the numerous (50+) Orange-crowned Warblers, both Myrtle and Audubon's Yellow-rumped Warblers, and a single Vaux's Swift. No other warbler species, vireos, tanagers, grosbeaks, etc.
