Male Ruddy Ground-Dove at the Willow Bend Center along the Rio de Flag in Flagstaff, at about 6840 ft., 7 Dec 2005. This represents the first Coconino County record, first for Arizona above the Rim and first for the Colorado Plateau. It is one of the odder places to expect this species in the state. The two previous nights reached low temperatures in Flagstaff of 4 degrees F and 14 degrees F.
