Observation details
Local, uncommon. First seen in the road leading to the ranch house at the end of the canyon, later seen walking around pasture area leading to ranch house. Tiny dove with short tail and overall warm coloration, grayish head w/ red-ish bill base and scaly-looking breast feathers. Not bright enough rufous for Ruddy Ground Dove, also ruled out by red-ish bill base. All birders kept a respectable distance from the ranch house property, photos are very blurry due to high zoom needed to capture the bird at a distance. All birders turned around at the recommended return spot: 31.3678389, -109.0240700.
