Field Notes

Description:

Spotted-necked Dove is a large size dove with many black spots on their neck. I think its size is as big as partridge. They have red legs and loud voice. This dove commonly live in group and make very simple nest. I used to see their nest near my bedroom's window. It has two eggs.

Habitat:

Originally found in India, Thailand, China, and other South-east Asia country. I take this picture during riding my bicycle to school in the morning.

For the scientific name, you only need the Genus and species (and any subspecies names, if necessary). :) For the extra credit, you should include a link to where you got your information from. Also, you can put your own information about where you saw it and your impressions in the "Notes" section. :)
