Dusky Pigeon

Patagioenas goodsoni

The Dusky Pigeon (Patagioenas goodsoni) is a medium-sized pigeon species found in the cloud forests and montane regions of the Andes in South America. It is characterized by its dusky gray plumage, with a subtle iridescence on the neck and wings. The species is known for its distinctive cooing calls that echo through the dense forest canopy. Dusky Pigeons are primarily frugivorous, feeding on a variety of fruits and seeds found in their montane habitat. They are often observed in small flocks, foraging in the understory and perching in the canopy. Despite their localized distribution, Dusky Pigeons are relatively adaptable and can be found in both primary and secondary forest habitats.

Habitat: Cloud forests and montane regions
