Desert Dweller - a photo on Flickriver

Desert Dweller

            The Spinifex Pigeon of Central Australia, Geophaps plumifera leucogaster, is only one of 2 Australian species that have an erect crest.  
Generally they live in stony areas with low woodlands and spinifex grasses. They are nomadic and terrestrial. The pigeons are seed eaters and are dependent on waterholes recharged by wet season monsoonal rains and showers. As the dry season progresses, they concentrate around the ever-decreasing water sources. They are often found in pairs or groups.
