The Common Ground-Dove is rapidly becoming less common all over Florida due to ongoing habitat destruction. Sadly, the ground-dove is not known to many birders.
Eyelids are lavender.
Male has dark gray crown and pinky-gray underparts. The female is gray and more drab overall. Unafraid and tame, Common Ground-Doves go about in pairs, heads bobbing in unison. Drab like female. Almost any Florida habitat from sea coast to pine flatwoods, except the wet places - swamp or marsh.
