I know, I knowŠ But I really did see a male RUDDY GROUND-DOVE from the
river overlook behind the picnic area three miles north of Zapata on Hwy.
83. This was yesterday morning, 28 April. I'm quite familiar with this
species as well as COMMON GROUND-DOVE from Mexico and points south. The
bird flew right to left right in front of me, crossing over to the Mexican
side of the river. Lighting excellent; 10X40 Swarovskis at 200 yards.
Warm rufous on entire upper parts and warmly suffused on flanks and
underparts. No scaling.
I tried to post this to e-bird but it kept kicking me out with the
comments section.
