Spotted
A secretive ground-dwelling pigeon endemic to the island of Sulawesi, Indonesia. It is characterized by its drab plumage, adapted for camouflage on the forest floor.
Where to spot
Endemic to Sulawesi, Indonesia, inhabiting primary and secondary lowland rainforests, particularly areas with dense undergrowth.
How to spot
Remain quiet and patient in suitable forest habitats. Look for movement on the forest floor, as it typically walks rather than flies. Listen for its soft, low cooing calls.
When to spot
Most active at dawn and dusk when foraging on the forest floor. Can be observed year-round, though its secretive nature makes sightings challenging.
