Eurasian Collared Dove, an invasive species to the US. From All About Birds - Since their introduction into Florida in the early 1980s, Eurasian Collared-Doves have spread rapidly and their population has grown over 13% per year, according to the North American Breeding Bird Survey. They now occur throughout much of the U.S., especially in areas converted to agriculture and urban uses.

These are the bullies at the birdfeeders, chasing Mourning Doves away first then other smaller birds. But they're all welcome, including the bird eating Hawk.
