Day 88: Zenaida Dove

You might recall my general distaste for doves (particularly Mourning Doves) from an earlier post. However, I have to admit, today's bird was a pleasant addition to our Puerto Rico trip.

 

The Zenaida Dove breeds throughout the Caribbean and part of the Yucatan Peninsula. It look fairly similar to the Mourning Dove that we are used to her in the U.S., except that it has darker plumage, a shorter, more rounded tail, and is a bit smaller in size.

We saw several Zenaida Doves during our visit to Puerto Rico.
