La historia
I photographed this Ruddy Ground Dove (Columbina talpacoti) at the Jardín Botánico San Jorge in Ibagué, Tolima, Colombia. It builds a sparsely lined cup nest of sticks in a tree and lays two white eggs. The female is gray-brown rather than rufous. It is a resident breeder from Mexico south to Brazil, Peru, Paraguay and northern Argentina. It feeds mainly on seeds, and sometimes on snails and small insects. Ibagué, the capital of Tolima, sits on the Central Andes between the Combeima Canyon and the Magdalena valley, near Nevado del Tolima.
I made this frame with a Pentax K-1 and the HD Pentax-D FA 150-450mm f/4.5-5.6, at 1/400 sec, f/5.6, ISO 200, −1 EV. IUCN lists the Ruddy Ground Dove as Least Concern, with an increasing population.
