Hello everyone, I apologize for this being late, but last Wednesday at work, I had a Common Ground Dove near Waller. Cheers, James Barnes Missouri City ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: <do-not-reply@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, Aug 17, 2013 at 9:29 AM Subject: eBird Report - Waller Ranch, Aug 14, 2013 To: txbarnowl@xxxxxxxxx Waller Ranch, Harris, US-TX Aug 14, 2013 Protocol: Incidental 13 species Northern Bobwhite 2 Great Egret 2 Green Heron 1 Turkey Vulture 2 COMMON GROUND-DOVE 1 Flushed while on tractor. Small dove with rufous underwing. First thought was Inca. Bird didn't fly far, so I approached on foot. Was fairly tame and allowed me to get close enough to see without binocs, that it did not have scaly pattern of Inca, but had spots on wings. When in flight had dark short stubby tail with white corners.
