The Common Ground-Dove continues at Captree, although it is sometimes absent for half an hour or so at a time. At 9:50, during one of the dove's absences, a Western Kingbird appeared along the same edge of vegetation. I had to leave shortly thereafter, but I heard from Lloyd Spitalnik that the dove reappeared in its usual haunts and gave a good show for all its newly assembled devotees. At last report, neither dove nor kingbird were visible, but I would think that patient scanning of the northern edge of the easternmost lot is likely to be rewarded.
