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.
Russet-crowned Quail-Dove
Medium quail-dove, 24–28 cm, with brown upperparts, a distinctive russet-crowned head, white facial stripe, and pale grey underparts. Inhabits humid montane forest in Darién (Panama) and northwestern Colombia. Poorly known terrestrial forager. Least Concern.
