Hi, I don't know about the valley but I've had them at my bird feeders for a few years here in Alpine Ca. They can be taken anytime and no limits in SD county as they are considered an invasive species. Slightly larger than a Mourning Dove and make a different cooing noise. Known as Eurasian collered dove. Larry W.
Thanks for the info, we've got them hanging out by the side of the house at a bird feeder, I'm not opposed to shooting two or three and having them for lunch. I peel the skin back and filet the breast meat off and bread and saute them up.
Interesting on the open season thing, are they even identifiable from the mourning doves while flying?
