DEC. 20, 2004 Bolivar Co. Mississippi The Ruddy Ground-Dove is being very cooperative and was seen by two groups, that I know of, today. I've added a photo taken by Mike Todd showing the spread tail and a short note on the two races.

I know you are getting tired of these updates taking up so much space in your mail box, so I'll make this the last. Just thought it a most interesting bird. Good Birding!!! Jeff R.
