About These Birds
Enggano Cuckoo-Dove
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.
Caroline Ground Dove
Small ground dove, 20–23 cm, with dark brown upperparts, a white face and breast, and grey flanks. Endemic to the Caroline Islands (Micronesia), particularly Pohnpei and Kosrae. Inhabits lowland and hill forest floor. Frugivore and granivore. Vulnerable due to small island range and introduced predators.
