The Bare-eyed Pigeon is a distinctive species found in northern South America and some Caribbean islands, recognizable by its striking bare, orange-yellow skin around the eye. It prefers arid and semi-arid habitats.
Where to spot
Primarily found in coastal northern South America (Colombia, Venezuela, Guyanas) and some Dutch Caribbean islands, favoring dry scrub, deciduous forests, and cacti-filled areas.
How to spot
Search in dry, open habitats with scattered trees and shrubs. Look for its prominent yellow-orange eye-ring, dark plumage, and large size. Its deep, owl-like hooting call is also a key identification cue.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Often observed in the early morning or late afternoon when foraging or flying to water sources.

The prominent bare skin around its eye is a unique and easily identifiable feature among pigeons in its range, giving it a somewhat stern or intense expression.
