Streptopelia decaocto By Matt Young March 19, 2012 12:00 MST Streptopelia decaocto - collared dove. In my neighborhood, at least, the collared dove, an invasive species, appears to have almost completely replaced the mourning dove (Zenaida macroura) within a very few years. The call of the mourning dove used to be rare, but now we hear the call of collared dove every day.
