Conover's Dove is a rare and enigmatic species of ground dove, known from a very limited range in the high Andes. Its elusive nature makes it a highly sought-after but challenging sighting for birdwatchers.
Where to spot
Endemic to a very specific, limited range in the Central Andes mountains of Colombia, typically in humid montane forests.
How to spot
Requires dedicated searching in its specific high-altitude cloud forest habitat. Patience and quiet observation are crucial, focusing on areas with dense undergrowth where it forages on the forest floor. Listen for any distinctive calls.
When to spot
Year-round resident within its specific habitat. Observations are few due to its rarity and restricted range, but early morning and late afternoon are generally best for ground doves.
