I know the answer and do typically see this bird on the ground. In fact, I'm not sure I've ever seen it off the ground when not in flight. I've seen it nesting on the ground in the Colorado tundra.

It occurred to me after suggesting "junco" that robins frequently feed on the ground and in that sense might be considered "ground-dwelling." When I was thinking of possible answers, I was thinking in terms of ground-nesters, but "dwelling" could have different meanings.
