The White-crowned Pigeon is a distinctive medium-sized pigeon of the Caribbean and southern Florida, easily identified by its striking white cap contrasting with a dark body. It is often found in coastal and island habitats.
Where to spot
Found in the Caribbean islands, the Bahamas, and coastal southern Florida, typically in mangroves, coastal forests, and cays.
How to spot
Look for it flying strongly over water between islands or perched in mangrove trees. The bright white crown on an otherwise dark grey body is unmistakable. Listen for its low, cooing call, often described as sounding like 'whoo-whoo-woo'.
When to spot
Year-round resident, though some populations may undertake local movements. Most active during early morning and late afternoon.

This species relies heavily on coastal forests and mangroves for nesting and roosting, and it can undertake significant flights between islands or from mainland to islands for foraging.
