First recorded breeding on the island in 2013, this dove is now both widespread and common. Today they are a Cypriot success story, for they have established themselves at many locations, and even breed in the middle of roundabouts in the bustling town of Larnaka. Hoopoes are common breeding birds.

The Mourning Dove is a prolific breeder. Even though the female lays only two eggs per nest attempt, they enjoy a protracted breeding season in which multiple nesting attempts can occur every 30 days, and in Southern locations, nearly year round. Use of non-toxic shot when hunting waterfowl has been mandatory, nationwide, since 1991.

The species breeds on an extraordinary number of islands, and has a worldwide population of perhaps over five million birds, and this is in spite of declines to due hunting, persecution and introduced species. Another difference is that the Christmas Shearwater is a surface breeder whereas the Wedgie breeds in burrows.

The authors’ detailed delineation of problems with the accuracy of NYC breeding bird surveys or with the limits of historical writings may test a reader’s patience. The first three sections are brief, presenting a summary of the bird’s current NYC status (migrant, resident, breeder, vagrant, etc.), It’s a very mixed chapter.
