Stewart Island, New Zealand-1692

The New Zealand pigeon or kereru (Hemiphaga novaeseelandiae) is a bird endemic to New Zealand. Maori call it Kereru in most of the country. Commonly called wood pigeon, they are distinct from the wood pigeon (Columba palumbus) of the Northern Hemisphere, which is a member of a different genus. I only had a few chances to get a flight shot but what make this special to me, it was taken in low light and in the rain.
