Spotted
The Red-billed Pigeon is a large, predominantly grey pigeon found from the southwestern United States down through Central America. Its namesake feature is a prominent bright red bill with a yellow tip.
Where to spot
Found from the extreme southwestern United States (southern Texas) through Mexico and Central America to Costa Rica, inhabiting riparian woodlands, dry forests, and scrub.
How to spot
Look for it perched high in trees along rivers or in forested areas. The combination of its large size, grey body, and bright red bill with a yellow tip is distinctive. Its deep, resonant cooing call is often the first indication of its presence.
When to spot
Year-round resident in most of its range, though northern populations may show some seasonal movements. Most active during the morning and late afternoon.
