Galápagos Dove

Zenaida galapagoensis

The Galápagos Dove (Zenaida galapagoensis) is a small, ground-dwelling dove endemic to the Galápagos Islands. It has a distinctive plumage with a pinkish-gray head, neck, and breast, a white belly, and brown wings and back. This species is known for its gentle cooing calls and is often found foraging on the ground for seeds and small insects. The Galápagos Dove is well adapted to the arid and rocky habitats of the Galápagos, where it can be found in dry lowland areas and coastal regions. While its population is currently stable, it faces potential threats from habitat destruction and introduced species.
