Spotted
The White-bibbed Ground Dove is a distinctive species of ground-dwelling pigeon found across New Guinea. It is easily recognized by its prominent white breast patch.
Where to spot
Native to New Guinea and several nearby smaller islands, inhabiting lowland rainforests, gallery forests, and mature secondary growth.
How to spot
Look for this bird walking quietly on the forest floor, where its white bib can offer a useful identification clue. Listen for its soft, low cooing calls, which can help pinpoint its location.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Most active when foraging on the forest floor, typically during daylight hours, with increased activity in the morning and late afternoon.
Despite its striking white bib, this dove is surprisingly well-camouflaged in its forest habitat, often blending into the dappled light and shadows of the undergrowth.
