La historia
I made this photo of a Tolima Dove (Leptotila conoveri) at Ukuku Rural Lodge in Juntas, Tolima, Colombia. It lives mostly inside and along the edges of humid subtropical forest, between about 1,200 and 2,500 meters. It builds a shallow bowl nest of heavy twigs in bushes or small trees, usually no more than 2 meters up. Much of its original habitat is gone, but it seems to adapt to secondary forest and coffee plantations. It is found only in Colombia. Juntas is a rural district of Ibagué in the Combeima Canyon, a buffer zone of Los Nevados National Natural Park where more than 300 bird species have been recorded.
I used a Pentax K-1 with the HD Pentax-D FA 150-450mm f/4.5-5.6 for this one, at 1/200 sec, f/5.6, ISO 6400. IUCN lists the Tolima Dove as Near Threatened, with a decreasing population.
