Wikipedia: The collared scops owl (Otus lettia) is an owl which is a resident breeder in south Asia from northern Pakistan, northern India, Nepal, Bangladesh, the Himalayas east to south China, and Taiwan. It is partially migratory, with some birds wintering in India, Sri Lanka and Malaysia. This species was formerly considered to be included within what is now separated as the Indian scops owl (Otus bakkamoena).
Conservation status: Least Concern

Collared Dove is now a familiar bird, occupying a range of open lowland habitats, but only began its colonisation of Britain in the 1950s.
Given favourable weather conditions, Collared Doves may nest in any month of the year. Despite the very small number of eggs laid for each nesting attempt, which is invariably two, multiple nesting attempts may be one reason why the species has been so successful.
Despite the dramatic long-term increase in numbers and range, a decline in Collared Dove populations was noted from 2005 onwards, and likely linked to the emergence and spread of finch trichomonosis.
Thanks a lot for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc. Very much appreciated!

Male Red Collared lemur (Eulemur collaris) named "Pierre".
Despite the name, male red-collared lemurs wear a white collar.
Pierre (born April 1, 2005) in Dallas now lives with a female ("Zaza") in the Madagascar Forest habitat of Africa Rocks, San Diego Zoo.
Conservation status: Endangered
Collared Pika (Ochotona collaris) live in scree fields at the base of mountain peaks, making dens among the rocks and feeding on the grasses and wildflowers around them. Although they look like mice, they are more closely related to rabbits and hares. This pika cooperatively posed on a ridge in the front range of the Chugach Mountains in Anchorage, Alaska.
The Collared Inca is a large hummingbird and an extremely quick flier that generally stays below the canopy of moss-laden cloudforests. Both males and females have white outer tail feathers and large white chest patches, both in strong contrast to its otherwise dark plumage. While haunting its dark, understory habitat, its generally dark plumage keeps it well hidden, and the first sign of its presence is the flashing open of its mostly white tail. identifies itself in the forest by flashing open its mostly white tail. It prefers long, pendulous, tubular flowers, hovering underneath to feed. Unlike the majority of hummingbirds, the Collared Inca appears especially prone to join mixed species foraging flocks of passerines, at least for short periods of time. Several studies have investigated its reproductive biology, but there is much to learn about this large, flashy, Andean hummingbird. Picture taken at Zuro Loma, Ecuador.

The collared aracari is brightly marked and has a large bill. Adults are 38 to 41 cm (15 to 16 in) long and weigh 175 to 250 g (6.2 to 8.8 oz). They are members of the toucan family.
Have a great Friday!

Collared Sparrowhawk, Accipiter cirrhocephalus

I can't believe it didn't know I was standing there, but it flew in and landed just above me.
I'm not sure how long I held my breath, but It quickly decided there was nothing to suit its appetire and with a wingflap, it was gone.
I began to breathe again. :-)

When I was a youth I recall they were quite scarce but the Eurasian Collared Dove is now a common sight in our gardens and in rural villages. They seem to be often overlooked but are really attractive and delicate birds.

The black-collared hawk is a species of bird of prey and its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical swamps, and swamps. The black-collared hawk lives on a diet mainly composed of fish. It also eats water bugs and occasionally lizards, snails and rodents.
The Pantanal is a tropical wetland and the world's largest wetland of any kind. The Pantanal ecosystem is also thought to be home to 1000 bird species, 400 fish species, 300 mammalian species, 480 reptile species and over 9000 different subspecies of invertebrates.

The Eurasian Collared Dove (Streptopelia decaocto) is a highly adaptable, medium-sized bird known for its rapid global expansion. Originally native to warmer regions of Asia, it has become a common sight in urban, suburban, and agricultural areas across Europe and North America.
Key Identification Features
Appearance:
They have a plump, sandy-gray or buff-colored body with a distinctive black half-collar on the nape of the neck.
Distinctive Tail:
Unlike the pointed tail of a Mourning Dove, the Eurasian collared dove has a broad, squared-off tail with large white patches at the corners.
Eyes and Bill:
Adults possess striking dark red eyes and a thin black bill.
Vocalizations:
Their primary call is a rhythmic, three-syllable coo (koo-KOO-kook) with the middle syllable emphasized. They also emit a harsh, nasal screeching sound just before landing.
Behavior and Diet
Diet:
These birds are primarily granivores, feeding on seeds, grains, and cereal crops, though they occasionally eat berries and small insects. They are frequent visitors to backyard bird feeders, where they often forage on the ground.
Territoriality:
They can be aggressive competitors at feeding stations, often chasing away smaller birds or native species like the Mourning Dove.
Flight Display:
Males perform a ritualized mating flight, flying nearly vertically before gliding down in a spiral with fanned tails.
Breeding and Life Cycle
Rapid Reproduction:
A monogamous pair can raise up to six broods per year in warmer climates.
Nesting:
They build simple, often flimsy platform nests made of twigs in trees, on buildings, or even on man-made structures like satellite dishes.
Parental Care:
Both parents share incubation duties and feed their young "crop milk," a nutrient-rich fluid secreted from their esophagus.
Global Colonization
The species is famous in ornithology for its "leapfrog" colonization style—new populations often spring up hundreds of miles away and eventually "backfill" the space in between. After being introduced to the Bahamas in the 1970s, they reached Florida by the 1980s and have since spread across most of the continental United States and into Canada.
Of the three types of toucans I saw in Costa Rica, the collared aracaris were my favorite, because they perched lower than the others.
