The little Ground Dove, Columbigallina passerina passerina, diminutive relative of the Mourning Dove, is a typical bird of the coastal plains of the deep south. In Alabama, these small doves are usually limited to the lower third of the State, from the Black Belt southward, but sometimes they get an itching foot, or wing, and a case of wanderlust.
