Bird of the Moment: SPOTTED IMPERIAL PIGEON

SPOTTED IMPERIAL PIGEON
Ducula carola
Currimao, Ilocos Norte

Currimao, Ilocos Norte is a good location for watching the Spotted Imperial Pigeons during the months of May to August. I first saw this bird during my my college days which was the mid 70’s. I thought the population was already wiped out due to hunting and poaching. Then in June 2017, I went back to Currimao hoping to find the Spotted Imperial Pigeon. I was glad to see the pigeon again after a long time. Since then, I go to Currimao to monitor the pigeons. “Happy Birding “
