COMMON GROUND-DOVE, NAPLES LAKES COUNTRY CLUB, NAPLES, FL
This photo was taken at a long distance and then enlarged, so it is somewhat grainy. However, we can I.D. the birds as Common Ground-Doves by their size (they were very small), shape, color and dark stripes on the side.
The Common Ground-Dove is a new species to our Life List, which now stands at 255.
