The bird was still present around 1:00PM this afternoon, sitting with  
a Mourning Dove in a birch tree in the backyard.  I posted two

> Dwight Cargill and I went to Norwich this morning and had success finding and
> observing the Eurasian Collared-Dove. Ken Cox who had arrived about five
> minutes before we did, quickly pointed out to us, where the Dove was. We
> watched it for a while and then it dropped down to a spot that we could not
> see it. After several minutes three other birders arrived and we all  
>  waited. A
> few minutes later, Dianne Dunn (one of the homeowners) came out and
> greeted us. I thanked her for letting us be there and she said that we could
> go onto her sideyard to get a closer look at the Dove. We were certainly not
> going to walk onto her lawn without her permission. The six of us   
> then started
> walking toward where we had seen it last. It must have seen us, because all
> at once it flew up into a tree directly in front of us. It was following a
> Mourning Dove. We had great looks at it and then it flew across the backyard
> and into another tree. Now the sun was behind us and we were able to get
> even better looks at this beautiful bird. It flew several more times from one
> tree to another as it continued to follow a Mourning Dove. We were lucky to
> have great viewing conditions and even more lucky to be able to observe the
> Dove while it was so active.
> We birders are quite fortunate to have such welcoming people as Dianne and
> John Dunn. Dianne was very kind and hospitable. I hope that others get a
> chance to see this Dove and continue to respect the Dunn's property and
> kindness.
