Field Notes
Description:
I actually got (and still am) quite confused about what exactly I should call this bird. If someone has a more definite idea then please let me know!
A large plump pigeon entirely white, apart from the black flight feathers, part of the tail, and black bars on the undertail coverts.
Habitat:
I spotted this lovely bird in a tree in someone's backyard.
