Female Green Kingfisher
The Green Kingfisher ('Chloroceryle americana') is small kingfisher with a very long bill. Both sexes have a green head, back and tail feathers with a white underbelly. Males have a red breast and females have a double collar of green feathers on their breast.
They are found over most of South America and their range extends as far as Mexico and the southner United States..
I managed to capture a series of images as this female was expelling a pellet. This is final frame and the one where the pellet is falling.
