National Dove Task Force Meeting Reports

The National Dove Task Force (formerly the National Mourning Dove Task Force) was established in 2006 under the auspices of the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies. At the time of its founding, the primary purposes of the NDTF were to:

1. Foster implementation of the Mourning Dove National Strategic Harvest Plan and coordinate activities related to its implementation (e.g., banding, wing collection, and wingbees).
2. Facilitate communication and information sharing among Mourning Dove Management Unit technical committees and their respective flyway councils, USGS–Biological Resources Division, and the USFWS.

The NDTF still performs these tasks along with new tasks such as facilitating communications regarding white-winged dove harvest management among flyways and the USFWS.
