The Buru Mountain-Pigeon is endemic to the island of Buru in Indonesia, exclusively inhabiting its montane forests. It is similar to other mountain-pigeons but distinguished by specific plumage details and its restricted geographic range.
Where to spot
Montane forests of Buru Island, Indonesia.
How to spot
Seek it in the canopy of montane forests. It may be shy, so patient observation and scanning fruiting trees are key. Identification may rely on observing its specific markings and confirming its restricted range.
When to spot
Year-round, active during the day, particularly during the cooler parts of the morning and late afternoon.
