The Common Ground-Dove is one of the smallest pigeons in the world, a tiny, compact dove characterized by its short tail and scaling pattern on its neck and breast. It is frequently observed foraging on the ground in open areas.
Where to spot
Widespread across the southern United States, Central America, Caribbean, and northern South America. Found in open woodlands, grasslands, agricultural areas, and suburban gardens.
How to spot
Look for them on open ground, often pecking at seeds; they blend well with their surroundings, so watch for subtle movements. Listen for their soft, repetitive call to help pinpoint their location.
When to spot
Year-round in its resident range. Most active during early morning and late afternoon when foraging.

Despite its diminutive size, the Common Ground-Dove is known for its distinctive, soft 'woot-woot' call, which can be surprisingly quiet and easily overlooked.
