Wikipedia: The collared kingfisher (Todiramphus chloris) is a medium-sized kingfisher belonging to the subfamily Halcyoninae, the tree kingfishers. It is also known as the white-collared kingfisher, black-masked kingfisher or mangrove kingfisher. It has a wide range extending from the Red Sea across southern Asia to Polynesia. A number of subspecies and subspecies groups have been split from this species including the Pacific kingfisher, the islet kingfisher, the Torresian kingfisher, the Mariana kingfisher, and the Melanesian kingfisher.
Conservation status: Least Concern

The Collared Sunbird is an extremely small bird about half the size of a house sparrow. It's main diet is nectar. The Collared Sunbird feeds in typical sunbird fashion clasping the edge of the flower or taking up a perch close to the flower into which it pokes its long curved bill. It moves around quickly from flower to flower. It has the shortest bill of all the Sunbirds.
The collared aracari (teroglossus torquatus) is a near-passerine bird in the toucan family Ramphastidae. It is found from Mexico to Colombia and Venezuela. The collared aracari's diet is mostly fruit but it also feeds on large insects, the eggs and nestlings of other birds, and other small vertebrates. It mostly forages from the forest's mid level to the canopy but will feed on fruits in the understory. They glean fruit by stretching from a perch, bending, and even hanging upside down. They regurgitate large fruit seeds which often remain viable.

The Collared Dove (Streptopelia decaocto) is a species of bird in the dove family (Columbidae). It gets its name because the species has only since the 1930s immigrated from the southeast to the middle and now also to northern and western Europe.
The Black-collared Hawk is a denizen of most fresh or brackish water habitats in tropical and subtropical Central and South America, occurring from central Mexico south to Uruguay. Typically Black-collared Hawks perch above shallow pools or marshes and drop onto prey, which most often are fish; as in the Osprey (Pandion haliaetus), the undersides of the toes of this hawk have spines to aid in grabbing fish. Other prey includes lizards or rodents. Named for its black bib, the Black-collared Hawk most easily is identified by its rufous plumage and very short tail. This species can be quite common in appropriate habitat, like in this photo, at Pantanal, but is patchily distributed and local over much of Amazonia.

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
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 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.

A common backyard bird, this Eurasian Collared Dove is an invasive species and one of three types of doves at my feeder.
Here's one from Ian's hide the other day.
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 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.

Just a small record of this little owlet
This one is the 4th species of Owlet we photographed during our two week trip to India.
It's not a good photo but I hope in the future to have the opportunity to take a better one.

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.
