Dove (Common Ground) Jamaica


 
Found in Jamaica and has a pale beak with males being very dark on the underbelly. The Common Ground Dove is a small bird that inhabits the Caribbean and is considered to be the smallest dove that inhabits the United States. As its name suggests the bird spends the majority of its time on the ground walking but still has the ability to fly.
 
The Common Ground Dove lives in open areas that have trees and bushes. They are also found in forests with sandy areas, farmlands, and savannahs and near human infrastructure. Common ground doves seem to hold territories but they are rarely aggressive when dealing with intruders.
