The western crowned pigeon (Goura cristata), also known as the common crowned pigeon or blue crowned pigeon, is a large, blue-grey pigeon with blue lacy crests over the head and dark blue mask feathers around its eyes. Both sexes are almost similar but males are often larger than females. It is on average 70 cm (28 in) long and weighs 2.1 kg (4.6 lbs).
The western crowned pigeon is found in and is endemic to the lowland rainforests of northwestern New Guinea; the other species of crowned pigeon inhabit different regions of the island. The diet consists mainly of fruits and seeds.
My husband and I are packing up our RV and headings out on the 11th for a 3 month get away.
Many places will not not internet service so I will not be consistent in being able to comment or post.

I hope you and your husband have a great trip. I look forward to seeing shots of some of your adventures!
