Joe Giunta and party have re-found the Common Ground-Dove at Captree SP, very near where Claude Bloch reported it yesterday. The bird is along the driveway that leads to the boat-launch area. My advice would be to park in the main parking lot (in front of the Captree Cove restaurant), and then

   I arrived at Captree around 12:10pm to a small group of birders already on the Common Ground Dove, which was giving good views.  The group dispersed at 12:25 and I was left viewing the bird alone until 12:35 when it took off, flying up over my head and across the parking lot, eventually

I too am happy to report seeing the bird, as well as the Western Kingbird, during the late morning. For all those planning to try for the dove, you might want to check both sides of the road as you approach the toll booths. NYSYBC member Michael M. & his mother were nice enough to return

For the benefit of anyone who is unfamiliar with the Captree location, and may not have the benefit of other birders around to help spot the bird when they arrive, I have posted a map. http://tinyurl.com/2flwlqg This bird is a potential 1st NYS record, so many people are likely to want to

Hey NY Birders, I'm going to try to make the trek from eastern LI to see the bird later this afternoon, so I would appreciate updates (at NYbirds or Metrobirds) on the bird's status as the day progresses. I'm sure there are others in the same boat. Hugh -- Hugh McGuinness The Ross School 18

The Common Ground-Dove was still present past 4:00 pm, along the northern edge of the eastern-most parking lot at Captree SP, Suffolk Co., LI. On at least four occasions, the bird flew out of sight into the vegetation to the north, but it always reappeared in its favorite swath of grass, near

The Common-Ground-Dove found by Pat Lindsay and Shai Mitra is giving excellent views along the north end of the eastern-most parking lot at Captree State park in Suffolk County, through at least 3 PM when I left. This will be a state record if accepted. Nice find guys.
