Author's comments:

Nido de torcaza con adulto empollando. El nido es una plataforma de palitos finos, tallos de yuyos y gramíneas. Lo ubica en las ramas de los árboles y matorrales. En este caso está ubicado entre las ramas y la estructura de una parra de un jardín en una vivienda. La postura es de dos huevos elípticos y blancos. Estas palomas son padres dedicados y normalmente permanecen echados en el nido hasta que los seres humanos o los depredadores se aproximan.
