Kingfisher,Ringed1.jpg
Ringed Kingfisher. We were delighted to see this bird at the Lagoa
(lake) Rodrigo de Freitas, in the middle of Rio. Although not
apparent in this photograph, it's a big kingfisher (more than twice
the weight of the familiar Belted Kingfisher we see in the Eastern
U.S.). This individual is male, because its rufous belly color
extends all the way to the throat. |
