The historical breeding range and recruitment of white-winged doves (Zenaida asiatica) in Texas was primarily restricted to a four-county region in the lower Rio Grande Valley (Cottam & Trefethen 1968). Recruitment in peripheral populations in adjacent south Texas counties and the Trans-Pecos region have been considered negligible (Gray 2002). In recent years, white-winged dove nesting chronology data have shown a geographic shift in nesting to include urban areas (Small & Waggerma...
