Doves and Pigeons

[KevinA]

No matter where you go in the world, there seems to be doves and pigeons. Aruba is no exception, so here are 3 of them.

Bare-eyed Pigeon, Patagioenas corensis

Eared Dove, Zenaida auriculata

Common Ground Dove, Columbina passerina

Interesting that these are all completely recognizable to anyone who has seen doves before. So many birds have exotic variants in other places but these wouldn't look out of place in my yard.

The Bare Eyed Pigeon looks like someone punched him in the eye! What a unique look. Great job with these.

Thank you Alan, generally easy to ID the family, a bit more difficult to ID the actual species

Thanks Jim. They do look like they've been in a fight.

Very photoneic pigeons.

Thank you Oliver. They're still very nervous and fly away very quickly.
