Snow Pigeon

Columba leuconota

The Snow Pigeon (Columba leuconota) is a species of bird found in the high mountain ranges of Central Asia, including the Himalayas. It is known for its striking white plumage, with a contrasting black band on the tail. These pigeons are well-adapted to the harsh alpine environments, where they forage for seeds, grains, and small insects. They are often seen in small flocks, gracefully gliding through the mountainous terrain. The Snow Pigeon is an important part of the high-altitude ecosystem, contributing to seed dispersal and serving as prey for local predators.
