Moreno's Ground-Dove is a small, stocky dove endemic to the high Andes of Argentina. It features a mottled brown plumage with black spotting on the wings and often a rufous wash on the underparts.
Where to spot
Endemic to the arid high Andes of northwestern Argentina, particularly the provinces of Jujuy, Salta, Tucumán, and Catamarca. Inhabits puna grasslands, rocky slopes, and arid scrub.
How to spot
Look for its mottled appearance and stocky build as it forages on the ground in high-altitude, open habitats. Its calls are typically soft cooing notes, which can help in detection.
When to spot
Year-round resident in its specific Andean range. Active during the day, especially when foraging.
