Asa Branca
Patagioenas picazuro
-22.2461, -43.6997
Field Notes
Description:
This kind of pidgeon has a beautiful color, especially the white lines bordering its feathers. When it's wings are closed, it looks like some kind of armor.
It has a unique vocalizing, active all day long.
They were really sneaky and you could always listen to then somewhere around, but never having a chance to spot them. After hours we found then drinking water close to a small lake. Then we could see them flying around the farm area all the time.
Dunno why, but one of them has yellow eyes, and the other red eyes.
Habitat:
It was found near the borders of tropical forest, also in more open areas.
Notes:
It gives the name of a very famous song in Brasil, called Asa Branca, by Luiz Gonzaga.
He states that, with the dry season, even this bird flew away from the Sertao, a semi-arid area in the northeast of Brasil, and so would do the guy, leaving his wife behind.
