columbina talpacoti These doves are usually in the lowlands, this is the first time I have seen one above 800m  But then it is dry now in mid summer so the lowland birds often come up to feed. Our garden is extremely dry right now hence there isn&#039;t much food either. That is why I went into the green part, which isn&#039;t that far away, maybe 20kms<br />

The ruddy ground dove is a small New World tropical dove. It is a resident breeder from Mexico south to Peru, Brazil and Paraguay, and northern Argentina, and on Trinidad and Tobago. Individual birds can sometimes be seen in the southwestern USA, from southern Texas to southernmost California, primarily during winter.
