		Pigeons and doves are stout-bodied birds with short necks and short slender bills with a fleshy cere.
		The poorly constructed nests are made of sticks, and the two white eggs are incubated by both sexes.
		Unlike most other birds, (but see flamingo), the doves and pigeons produce "crop milk", which is secreted by a sloughing of fluid-filled cells from the lining of the crop.

		The most important feature is the laurel forest, most of which is located within the park boundaries, in fact some 70% of the park is woodland with Laurisilva canaria dominant.
		Fauna Two species of bird, white-tailed laurel pigeon Columba junoniae and dark-tailed laurel pigeon Columba bolli, are endemic to the Canaries and on La Gomera are largely restricted to the national park.

		The extensive areas of laurel forest that can still be found in parts of these islands make them the world stronghold of the White-tailed Pigeon, which can otherwise only be seen on Gomera and (in very low numbers) on Tenerife.
		In addition to the pigeons, the road along Monte del Agua is also good for Canary, Tenerife Goldcrest (albeit harder to see than in the relatively open pine forest), Sardinian Warbler and some of the Canarian races of widespread European species like Robin, Chiffchaff, Buzzard...

		Right at this spot I could hear at least 3 separate groups of pigeons flapping around in the trees on either side of me. Not flying but just flapping around in the branches like they were feeding, fighting or mating.
		I was delighted to behold the fl-grey-fl tail pattern indicating a Bolle's Pigeon.
		To improve your odds on these two species, my recommendation is to walk the dirt road rather than drive and (as applies to most bird species), try in the early morning or late evening when they appear to be a lot more active.

		One Laurel pigeon, clearly seen, but not for long as it was also flying fast over the canopy.

	Birdwatching Trip Report from La Gomera
		The main purpose is often sea watching from the ferry and the search for the land birds, especially the Laurel Pigeon as well as the Bolle’s.
		The clouds were then higher up in the mountains and we looked for pigeons at the top of the small hill next to the closed restaurant at La Carbonera.
		Between 08:50 and 09:30 we had three good flight views (1+2+1) of Laurel Pigeons, but the highlight was when I discovered one Laurel perched upon a partly dry tree at the peak of the facing mountain.
