Spotted
Stephan's Emerald Dove is a striking ground-dwelling pigeon, identifiable by its distinctive white forehead and iridescent bronze-green upperparts. It is a secretive forest inhabitant.
Where to spot
Native to New Guinea and several surrounding islands, including the Bismarck Archipelago and parts of the Solomon Islands, preferring lowland and hill forests.
How to spot
To spot this elusive bird, patiently scan the forest undergrowth and leaf litter. Its camouflage is effective, but the white forehead can be a key identifier. Move quietly to avoid startling it.
When to spot
Active year-round throughout its range. Best observed during daylight hours, especially in the quieter moments when it ventures into more open forest patches.
