Ruddy pigeon
Patagioenas subvinacea
-3.24855, -72.9032
Field Notes
Description:
This specimen appeared to have a wine-colored neck and brownish colored feathers.
Habitat:
Amazon rainforest
Notes:
This was seen when taking the Canopy Walkway after reaching its entrance platform following a short hike from ACTS camp. The ruddy pigeon was seen atop a tree in the third canopy of triple canopy rainforest a couple hundred feet distant.
I used a Nikon D7100 and 70-300mm lens at 300mm, together with bracing the camera against the wooden framing of the platform that formed a crook. This provided a makeshift tripod of sorts, but stability nonetheless. The first and second images are digitally cropped.
