Unlike white-winged doves, which seem to have spread gradually northward into urban areas in widening concentric rings, possibly in association with the proliferation of backyard feeding, collared-doves have concentrated in small towns around grain elevators, feed stores and livestock-feeding operations

These birds may be city slickers for the most part. Relatively few farms have livestock feeding operations anymore.
