Band-Tailed Pigeons
Band-tailed Pigeons are wild pigeons native to North America and the Pacific Coast. True to their name, these pigeons have a long, gray banded tail and also a white band and iridescent patch at the nape of the neck. They’re about 14 to 18 inches long with a bright yellow beak and feet. Band-tailed Pigeons do not show the same color variations as Rock Pigeons. These pigeons live at forest edges and in woodlands, both coniferous and deciduous, and spend much of their time in trees. Acorns are one of their favorite foods, but they also forage for berries, grains, mast-producing plants and other available resources, depending on the habitat and time of year.
