About Each Bird (Descriptions)
════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ #}
Small dove, 19–23 cm, with scaly brown plumage produced by black feather edging, rufous primaries, and a long scallop-patterned tail. Common in arid and semi-arid open areas from the southwestern USA through Central America to Costa Rica. Granivore of seeds. Frequently seen in urban gardens. Least Concern.
Slender cuckoo-dove, 32–35 cm, uniform warm cinnamon-rufous with minimal barring and a relatively short tail. Restricted to Enggano Island off the southwestern coast of Sumatra. Inhabits dense lowland forest. Frugivore. Vulnerable due to extremely small range and ongoing forest loss on the island.
