Spotted
The Scaled Dove is a widespread and distinctive ground-dove named for the prominent dark scaling on its neck, breast, and back. It is a common sight in urban areas and cultivated lands, often foraging in small groups.
Where to spot
Widely distributed from eastern and southern Brazil, Paraguay, Bolivia, and northern Argentina, extending north into parts of the Caribbean. Found in open and semi-open habitats, including parks, gardens, savannas, and agricultural areas.
How to spot
Look for its distinctive scaled pattern on the breast and neck. They are often quite tame in urban environments and can be seen walking calmly on lawns or roadsides. Listen for its low, purring call.
When to spot
Observable year-round throughout its range. Active during the day, especially in the mornings and late afternoons when foraging.

Its striking 'scaled' appearance is unique among ground-doves, making it relatively easy to identify even at a distance.
