Bar-shouldered dove
The bar-shouldered dove (Geopelia humeralis) is a species of dove, in the family Columbidae, native to Australia and southern New Guinea. Its typical habitat consists of areas of thick vegetation where water is present, damp gullies, forests and gorges, mangroves, plantations, swamps, eucalyptus woodland, tropical and sub-tropical shrubland, and river margins. It can be found in both inland and coastal regions. This bar-shouldered dove was photographed in Brunkerville, New South Wales.Photograph credit: John Harrison
