Leptotila wellsi

Identification

Distribution

Thes species, which is endemic to the island of Grenada is currently found in fragmented secondary forest with obvious problems in spreading from one patch to the next. The only larger area inhabited by the dove is the Mt. Hartman reserve, currently under threat of development into a resort with golf club (except for 25% that will remain a national park, it seems). The links below gives some more background. The population in 2007 was estimated at 38 calling males for the whole island (+ females and immatures)(SCSCB Newsletter 2007).
