Question 1The species is:Common Ground-DoveNorthern MockingbirdWhite-winged DoveSoraQuestion 1 Explanation: Question 2The white feathers on the wing include some or all of the following (check all that apply):Primary covertsGreater secondary covertsPrimariesMedian secondary covertsLesser secondary covertsQuestion 2 Explanation:
The wing structure of doves is a little different compared to songbirds, so that on the folded wing the secondary coverts hide almost all of the secondaries. The white patch includes almost all of the greater coverts, and then just the outermost feathers of each row of smaller coverts up to the leading edge of the wing. Most of this disappears under the other (inner) wing coverts in each row when the wing is folded. Also notice the thin white tips on the secondaries and look for those on the folded wing above.
