Yellow-Breasted Fruit Dove

YELLOW BREASTED FRUIT DOVE
Ptilinopus occipitalis
Columbidae Family

Bird #96 - January 2009

This is a Philippine endemic that we saw in Mt. Kitanglad. We got a very good view of it on the third day of our birding trip.

Our first photo of this bird was during our second trip to Mt. Kitanglad with Nicky Icarangal and our son Franco. This was taken from the lodge, it was very far away. There was a Mindanao Hornbill on the next tree.

This bird is 11 1/2". We saw a man with an airgun and also heard shots while we were out birding. Nicky said that the hunters usually go after doves like this. We saw it again in March 2011 in the Northern Sierra Madre.
