Re: [cobirds] Mystery dove song at Golden Ponds

I went back again this morning, but had no luck relocating it, unfortunately.

Interesting, Jamie!  I listened closely to the recording, and can hear a trilling occur before all three of the calls in the recording.  

At this link: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/White-tipped_Dove/sounds, check out the second recording, which includes a similar trill before each call.  Also on several recordings on Xeno-Canto from birds in Texas, like this: https://xeno-canto.org/277692

The trill in Jamie's recording sounds too low to resemble anything else I can think of that trills.  

I'm interested to hear what others think of this recording, and the possibility that Jamie recorded a White-tipped Dove?

I was at Golden Ponds in Longmont this morning and in the back corner by the creek I heard an odd dove song. My first thought was that someone was blowing a recorder because it had that quality to it. The Merlin app didn't ping on it, but I did get a recording. I'm not sure if Cobirds will allow the link, but here goes nothing. You can hear it best at 1:49, 2:44, and 3:17: https://link.edgepilot.com/s/9b410fe3/G0gyn7WLXUm2F6ix3v2iIw?u=https://drive.google.com/file/d/14hsOg2PM-D2R0AVuDtFw4YdvgUeizcAe/view?usp=sharing

I couldn't locate the bird to see it, but the closest song to this that I could find is White-tipped Dove. Am I crazy? Is this just a weird Mourning Dove or Eurasian Collared-Dove?
