Observation details

Noticed a smallish gray colored bird feeding on the ground next to House Sparrows and a Mourning Dove. Before I grabbed my bins for a better look it appeared to look like a mini Mourning Dove from my vantage point. With bins I noted the dark markings on the wings, the scaled appearance to the breast & head and the pinkish based bill. Grabbed my camera to document this little cutie. MANY photo's.
