Nonnative does not mean invasive, necessarily. As the late Steve Herman asked of the Eurasian collared dove, where is the evidence indicting them? I agree with him that merely being present in a nonnative range is not, in itself, evidence of adverse impact.

  1. Black-capped Chickadee OP
  2. American Robin EC (usually gone by mid September)
  3. Common Redpoll EC
  4. Hoary Redpoll WY
  5. American Tree Sparrow DY
  6. Common Raven DY
  7. Savannah Sparrow TD
  8. White-crowned Sparrow TD
  9. Yellow Warbler DY (but gone by September)
  10. Wilson’s Warbler WY (but gone by September)

I’m at the eastern edge of the Blue Mountains west of Sydney, Australia.
We are starting to warm up for spring after a dry winter and some more birds are coming in for feeding on the fruits and nectar flowers.

VC - Pied Currawong (Strepera graculina)
DY - Satin Bowerbird ( Ptilonorhynchus violaceus)
DY - Common Bronzewing Pigeon (Phaps chalcoptera)
DY - Eastern Spinebill ( Acanthorhynchus tenuirostris)
WY - New Holland Honeyeater ( Phylidonyris novaehollandiae)
WY - Crimson Rosella ( Platycercus elegans)
WY - Australian Raven ( Corvus coronoides ssp. coronoides)

A few other species darting quickly through, but not seen well enough for ID.
The Satin Bowerbird will become more common soon when more of their food plants re-leaf.

Yep, I agree that nature couldn’t tell the difference between a Collared dove and a Mourning dove.

House Sparrows, on the other hand, are INVASIVE. But they’re soo adorable.
