[TN-Bird] Common Ground-Dove

On Saturday, in the northern part of Murfreesboro, I flushed a bird from a
feeding station that I felt must have been a Common Ground-Dove. This morning,
I was able to confirm the ID, as the bird was seen at length. It is coming to
an area of cracked corn, which a friend of mine spreads over the ground to
attract wildlife. There are usually assorted ground-feeding birds around,
along with deer, racoons, squirrels, etc. A flock of Wild Turkeys stays in the
area. Unfortunately, the dove is extremely skittish, the area is difficult to
access without flushing all the birds, and the owner is not a birder. For the
time being at least, this posting is for interest only. This is one of only a
few Middle Tennesee records, and may be the first for the Nashville area.
Sorry
