Caribbean Dove

Leptotila jamaicensis

The Caribbean Dove (Leptotila jamaicensis) is a species of dove native to the Caribbean region. It is a medium-sized bird with a distinctive grayish-brown plumage and a pale pinkish-gray belly. This dove is known for its gentle cooing call, which is a common sound in its forested habitats. It primarily feeds on seeds and fruits found on the forest floor, and it often forages in pairs or small groups. The Caribbean Dove plays a significant ecological role in seed dispersal within its habitat, contributing to the diversity and regeneration of the forest ecosystem.
