Spotted
A medium-sized pigeon native to the dry forests of northern Peru and Ecuador, the Peruvian Pigeon is distinguished by its generally pale underparts and iridescent neck feathers. It is often found in small flocks.
Where to spot
Arid and semi-arid lowlands of northwestern Peru and southwestern Ecuador, primarily in dry deciduous forests, scrubland, and cultivated areas with scattered trees.
How to spot
Look for it foraging on the ground under trees or perched in the canopy. Its plumage blends well with the dry environment, so patience is key. Listen for its typical, soft pigeon cooing calls.
When to spot
Year-round within its limited range. It is generally active during daylight hours, foraging on the ground or in trees.

Despite its somewhat drab appearance, this pigeon is a resilient survivor in the highly fragmented and threatened dry forest ecosystems of the Pacific coast of South America.
