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.

Striking ground dove, 29–33 cm, with a brilliant turquoise-blue crown, black and white facial stripe, red bill, and rich rufous-brown body. Endemic to Cuba's lowland forest and scrub. Terrestrial forager of seeds and small fruits. Endangered due to hunting and deforestation; population fewer than 1,000.
