Inca Dove
Columbina inca
32.3325, -111.213
Field Notes
Description:
Small dove. Curved bill, fish scale pattern on back. Social, quiet doves.
Habitat:
Sonoran Desert
Notes:
Four Inca Doves found in a oleander outside of my dining room window during a rain storm. They were huddling together, climbing on each other's backs for warmth. I've lived here for 10 years near Saguaro National Park, West and these are the first native Inca doves I've seen here. I normally see Mourning Doves. I've seen them at the Arizona Sonoran Desert Museum in an aviary before. It was cute to see a dove pyramid.
