The bronze-winged dove, because of its wide distribution, is a species 
little valued by the collector but its solitary and unobtrusive habits 
usually lead the novice to mistake it for a rarity. In no place abundant, 
the species may be found in nearly every island where forest, or even a‘ 
small growth of trees, exists to afford protected feeding grounds. Oates 
records two eggs of this species which were collected in Mindoro by the 
Steere Expedition.
