Spotted
The Ecuadorian Ground-Dove is a small, pale ground-dove endemic to western South America. It is characterized by its light grey-brown plumage, often with a subtle pinkish wash, and typically forages on open, arid ground.
Where to spot
Found along the Pacific coast and adjacent dry valleys of western Ecuador and northwestern Peru. Inhabits arid and semi-arid scrub, dry woodlands, and agricultural areas.
How to spot
Look for its pale, rather inconspicuous appearance on dusty or bare ground. Its soft, repetitive 'coo-coo' call can help locate it in its dry habitat.
When to spot
Year-round resident within its range. Most easily observed during the cooler parts of the day, specifically mornings and late afternoons.
Unlike some of its more widespread relatives, this species has a relatively restricted range, making it a desired sighting for birdwatchers focusing on Andean endemics.
