I just realized that no one has posted a follow-up to the earlier message
about the second state record Common Ground Dove being found in Hyland Park
late this afternoon.
Some 30-40 birders were able to get there to see the bird before it appeared
to go into the woods to roost for the night. Hopefully it will still be
around in the morning for people coming from further away who were unable to
get there tonight. The best suggestion is that when you get to the end of
the road there are parking lots on the left and right. Park in the one on
the right as the bird was seen around 6:00 tonight to walk around the
parking lot on the left, toward the east end. Hopefully not too many
walkers, etc. will be using the parking lot on the left and the bird will be
willing to come out. It did not appear to be shy or anything like that
today but it appeared after a car that had been parked on the left side had
left.
Congratulations to Bill Stauffer for a great find.

Subject: [mou-net] Common Ground Dove in Bloomington
I just got a call from Bill Stauffer who has a Common Ground Dove at
Hyland Park in Bloomington. His cell phone is 952-926-5851. Go to the
main entrance on the west side of the park and drive past the parking
lot for Chutes and Ladders to the very end of the road and that's where
he is.
Bob Williams,
Bloomington
