You can go to my website here for a photo and directions for the Zenaida Dove: http://www.southfloridabirding.com/html/recent_rarities..htm
Or go to the link below.
Directions from Florida City/Homestead:
From the south end of the Florida Turnpike, take US1 south to upper Key Largo. After you go over the high bridge you
enter Key Largo. Look for a Circle K store and Shell Gas Station on the left side of US1. Just past the Circle K
turn left on C-905 road, head north 2-miles. After you pass a neighborhood on your right called I believe Gulfstream Shores,
look for Valois st. on your right Turn right on Valois and then right on La Croix ct. PARK HERE, there should be room
on both sides of La Croix. After you park, walk to Marseilles st., turn left. From this point look down Marseilles east to
around the 5-6 telephone pole. Look on both sides of the street for the dove feeding along the road. There is no need to go
any farther down Marseilles st. The person who lives on the end of this street is not supposed to be very friendly. There are no
other houses on Marseilles st. A SCOPE would be very helpful to view this bird and not SCARE it away!!!
I would recommend not bothering the neighbors on Valois street or any other street. Bird looking down MARSEILLES ST.
this is your best bet to see the bird. Stay near the beginning of Marseilles so that you don't flush this SKITTISH BIRD!!
You can not leave the road anywhere in this area, it is either private property or state property. So do not trespass!
Good luck to all of those who try!
