Very cute little doves that walk quietly on the forest floor. They were so absorbed by their foraging that, if I stood still, they would often walk nearly up to my feet. They never, ever stop moving though, which makes getting a sharp photo in dim light a bit of a challenge... Posted 7 years ago

  I know! Someone needs to go to the islands of south east Asia and Oceania, get phots of all their cool dove species! Posted 7 years ago

The doves in Central and South America are fascinating in their diversity - probably the Oceanic islands too, although I haven't been there much. Posted 7 years ago
