Brown Hooded Kingfisher-20
Brown-hooded Kingfisher (Halcyon albiventris)
A flash of turquoise wings and a cinnamon underbelly — this woodland kingfisher is more than just a pretty perch. Despite its name, it doesn't eat fish! Instead, it hunts insects, lizards, spiders, and even scorpions on land, stunning its prey by beating it against branches for easier digestion.
