Spinnifex pigeon        Images © Mark A. Chappell

Jaunty little spinnifex pigeons (which act more like quail than pigeons) are familiar visitors to campgrounds in Australia's arid interior. I took these pictures at Devil's Marbles rest area and Ormiston Gorge National Park in the Northern Territory.
