Have You Seen These Birds?

They since to be a major influx of White-crowned Pigeon into the island.  The first record of this bird on the island was at Moncrieffe, St. John on April 9th, 2014, a single bird. White-crowned Pigeons are between 13-14” in length, dark grey with a contrasting white-crown or head, closely resembling the more common Scaly-nape Pigeon aka Ramier aka Wildleys. Thus far over 10 birds were seen in 4 parishes.  If you see this bird please let me know where you saw it and the amount seen.
