	The Carolina Turtle-dove
		The Turtle-Dove may with propriety be considered more as a gleaner than as a reaper of the husbandman's fields, scarcely ever committing any greater depredation than the picking up a few grains in seed-time, after which it prefers resorting to those fields from which the grain has been cut and removed.
		The egg of the Carolina Dove measures one inch one-eighth in length, by five and a half eighths in breadth, is equally rounded at both ends, and is of a pure white colour, somewhat translucent.
		The roosting places which the Carolina Turtles prefer are among the long grasses found growing in abandoned fields, at the foot of dry stalks of maize, or on the edges of meadows, although they occasionally resort to the dead foliage of trees, as well as that of different species of evergreens.

	Streptopelia Doves
		The Ringed Turtle-Dove (in England known as Barbary Dove) is thought to be a domesticated form (recessive mutant) of the African Collared-Dove (Streptopelia rosogrisea), a native of sub-Saharan Africa and the Arabian Peninsula.
		More recently, two other dove species have made their appearance in Illinois, and this short article is intended to give a brief overview over the situation with these newcomers.
