What's missing? Tuttav lind puudub!


Raamatukogu Võlusaartes on lihtne ja lühike lindude raamat.  Vaadake eesti linde - check out these interesting Estonian birds!

The Collared Dove is not a native species, it first appeared in Estonia in 1958, read more here. It was first introduced to the Bahamas in the 70s; by the 80s it had flown to Cuba and then up to the Great Lakes -  it has been spotted as far north as Alaska! Although the Collared Dove competes for food with the native Mourning Dove, so far its effect has been uncertain.  The Big Backyard Bird Counts help to monitor invasive species like the Collared Doves - can you spot one?
