No, they are not native. They are the Rock Dove.
They live in large numbers in our cities and farming areas and travel twice daily during summer to feed. At the moment I am shooting them where the farmer is 'feed- lotting' cattle but I expect them to leave there and move on to ripe pea crops soon. They decoy well when you set things right. They are there to be taken but there are so few game shooters around my part of the world that very few shoot them or know how to go about it well. These birds offer some very good shooting and you can expect some big days on them. Two old friends of mine (W.M. & P.A.) shot over 1,600 in an afternoon after having to go home for more cartridges and then running out of ammo altogether.
