Observation details
Finally! After we stared at the "dove spot" continuously for more than 5 hours under a strong and very hot sun, the Zenaida Dove finally appeared at 1543, feeding quietly on grit and/or bird seed placed by a birder the day before (despite STUPID and self-defeating "clean-up" efforts by an FWC law enforcement officer earlier today!). After 8 minutes, the Zenaida Dove, a female based on copulation with a male Mourning Dove (as observed and reported a few days later by Larry Manfredi), flew off without being provoked. We departed immediately afterward.
