[Mich-listers] Common Ground Dove - Tawas Point S.P. 11-15

[Brian McGee]

The Common Ground Dove was present again today at Tawas Point State Park 
in the area previously reported.  After a 3-hour wait, it showed up on 
the small dune north of the parking lot at around 1:00 near a small oak 
shrub.  Thanks to Tom Wheeker for spotting the bird!

A photo of the bird is posted on the umich-birders photo sharing site:

Also present in the park on or near the northwest side of the point were 
5 Northern Pintails, 6 Black-bellied Plovers, 4 Dunlin, and a single 
adult Bald Eagle.
