Wish I was reasonable close enough to chase this Code 4 species. Anyone in south Florida been to the Keys to look for it?

I wish. In the right state but a few decent miles off an easy trip!

I'd even take a day trip but 14 hours one way is just not in the works. Nice looking bird, for a dove, that is. Seems like it is staying put.

I saw the bird at the Charles Deering Estate on December 28 (2014) and January 1st (2015). Quail-Doves are among the most beautiful and rewarding birds to see in this region...

A Quail-Dove in Miami and at least one in the Keys. Are they more common than eBird shows them to be or is this a unusual season?

It's unusual.
