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.

Medium dove, 28–31 cm, with grey-brown plumage, a white wing stripe conspicuous in flight, and a broad rounded tail with white tips. Common in southwestern USA, Mexico, Central America, Caribbean, and northwestern South America in open and semi-arid habitats. Frugivore of cactus fruits and granivore of seeds. Least Concern.
