Cortejo y cópula de la Palomita Moteada (<i>Metriopelia ceciliae</i>) en el Parque Nacional Toro-Toro, Potosí, Bolivia

Abstract

The reproductive behaviour of the Bare-faced Ground-Dove (Metriopelia ceciliae) is little known and has been described mainly from captive individuals. In this work we describe the courtship and copulation of the Bare-faced GroundDove in the wild in a rural area of the Toro-Toro National Park, Potosí, Bolivia.
