Spotted
The Plumbeous Pigeon is a widespread Neotropical pigeon recognized by its uniformly greyish-blue plumage and red orbital skin. It is a common, though often elusive, resident of humid forests.
Where to spot
Widespread across Central and South America, from southern Mexico south to northern Argentina. Found in various humid forest types, including lowland rainforests, gallery forests, and montane cloud forests.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive, low, booming 'whoo-OOO-whoo' call, often given from within dense foliage. Look carefully in the mid to upper canopy for its grey form, which can be surprisingly camouflaged.
When to spot
Year-round within its extensive range. Most active during the day, particularly vocal during the early morning and late afternoon.

Despite its commonality and large range, the Plumbeous Pigeon often remains hidden in the dense canopy, making it more frequently identified by its low, booming call than by sight.
