Date: Tue, Oct 9, 2012 6:47 pm I waited for the bird yesterday from 4-6 pm and it was a no show. Today, I got to Omar and Bluegill at 3 pm and six birders were waiting for it to show with one being there since 7:30 am with no bird seen. I left at 4:30 and drove to the parking lot to check out the trail to the "goat" house. Two ladies joined me and asked for directions to Omar and Bluegill. I drove back to Omar at 5:15 where I saw folks with binocs and cameras focused on an oak tree. The bird had jumped three to four trees before landing on the oak. This was the second oak tree east of Bluegill. The ruddy ground dove was easy to see but hard to photograph. It appeared to be settling to roost for the night. The was an Inca nearby on a branch, maybe a buddy or new friend. It was still there when I left at 5:45. Please forward to Texbird as my emails don't seem to go through. Thanks.**** ** ** Andy Garcia**** San Antonio, TX.**** __._,_.___ Reply via web post<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SATXbirds/post;_ylc=X3oDMTJwcG5hcWc1BF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzUxMTUyMQRncnBzcElkAzE3MDUwNjU3ODcEbXNnSWQDMjAwMDgEc2VjA2Z0cgRzbGsDcnBseQRzdGltZQMxMzQ5ODI2NDQw?act=reply&messageNum=20008> Reply to sender <agarcia101@xxxxxxxxxxx?subject=Re%3A%20Ruddy%20Ground%20Dove%2010%2F9%2F12%20-%20Yes%21%21> Reply to group <SATXbirds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=Re%3A%20Ruddy%20Ground%20Dove%2010%2F9%2F12%20-%20Yes%21%21> Start a New Topic<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SATXbirds/post;_ylc=X3oDMTJkbmkzcjkzBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzUxMTUyMQRncnBzcElkAzE3MDUwNjU3ODcEc2VjA2Z0cgRzbGsDbnRwYwRzdGltZQMxMzQ5ODI2NDQw> Messages in this topic<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SATXbirds/message/20008;_ylc=X3oDMTM1dWUya2R0BF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzUxMTUyMQRncnBzcElkAzE3MDUwNjU3ODcEbXNnSWQDMjAwMDgEc2VjA2Z0cgRzbGsDdnRwYwRzdGltZQMxMzQ5ODI2NDQwBHRwY0lkAzIwMDA4>(1) Recent Activity: Visit Your Group<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SATXbirds;_ylc=X3oDMTJkZmYxamZwBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzUxMTUyMQRncnBzcElkAzE3MDUwNjU3ODcEc2VjA3Z0bARzbGsDdmdocARzdGltZQMxMzQ5ODI2NDQw> [image: Yahoo!
