The Black-collared Barbet is an African Barbet and is a common resident in South Africa. This bird is easily recognized by its loud duet and its snarling warning call. They are one of only a handful of birds which “duet” (that means that one bird out of the pair sings the first note, then the other bird sings the second note) which it uses on a daily basis. To those that stand and listen, this does not sound like it comes from two different birds, but one solitary song.

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

"I don't care if it hurts
I wanna have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice
When I'm not around
So fuckin' special
I wish I was special
But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doin' here?
I don't belong here!"

(Rufous-collared Sparrow / Copetoncito)
La Ceja, Colombia
The rufous-collared sparrow or Andean sparrow (Zonotrichia capensis) is an American sparrow found in a wide range of habitats, often near humans, from the extreme south-east of Mexico to Tierra del Fuego, and on the island of Hispaniola. It is famous for its diverse vocalizations.
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.
Wild - At Porto Jofre - Pantanal - Brasil. This guy was really annoyed. According to our field guide, this was a young hawk calling for his parents.
Happy Friday! Have a great weekend!

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 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.

One of the reasons I have the utmost respect for these aggressive birds, is their ability to throw themselves into a treeline in hot pursuit.
This is a pair at play, you can spot the wing of the other disappearing behind the leaves.
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 but is patchily distributed and local over much of Amazonia. Picture taken at Pantanal, Brazil.
Wishing everyone a Peaceful Bokeh Wednesday!
