Counts of Philippine turtle-doves (Streptopelia bitorquata) during this year's spring bird surveys were significantly different (p<0.05) from last year's counts. Eighteen routes recorded decreases, four recorded increases, and one recorded no changes in numbers of doves. A mean of one or more birds per station was recorded on the Northwest Field, Cross Island Road, and Cocos Island routes. 27 birds were counted on snake free Cocos Island.
