DEC. 16, 2004 Bolivar Co. MS On Tuesday, Carl Smith found a Ruddy Ground-Dove while doing a Christmas Bird Count, just west of Boyle, MS off highway 446. The bird was relocated and photographed by Don McKee on Wednesday. Gene Knight, Terry Schiefer and I looked for the bird in a drizzling rain and sleet for 4-5 hours today with no success but I would think the bird could still be around. Directions to the location are given on my web site. Please post both positive and negative results of any search. Don has given me permission to post a few of the 100 photos he took.
