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.

Golden-spotted Ground Dove

Small dove, 19–22 cm, sandy-brown with distinctive golden-yellow wing spots visible at rest and in flight. Inhabits open high-altitude Andean grassland and rocky slopes in Peru, Bolivia, Chile, and Argentina at 3,000–4,500 m. Granivore of seeds. Least Concern.
