Field Notes
Description:
The eared dove is a New World tropical dove. It is a resident breeder throughout South America from Colombia to southern Argentina and Chile, and on the offshore islands from the Grenadines southwards. The species' call is a deep soft oo-ah-oo, which sounds a bit melancholic. This explains why this dove is called "Geoorde_treurduif" in Dutch, which means "Eared mourning dove".
Habitat:
Eared doves feed mainly on seed taken from the ground, but will take other items such as soaked bread. They can be agricultural pests.
