Pallid Dove
Leptotila pallida
(L 10.5")
South of Guayaquil
12Feb2013
Confined to the Chocø region
...along coast Columbia to Ecuador.
How come the dove gets to be the peace
symbol? How about the pillow? It has more
feathers than the dove, and it doesn’t have
that dangerous beak.
      (Jack Handy)
Leptotila is Greek for slender
wing.; pallida is Lating for pale.
