About These Birds
Moustached Kingfisher
The Moustached Kingfisher (<em>Actenoides bougainvillei</em>) is a member of the family Alcedinidae, the kingfishers, and is found in forested habitats. Detailed plumage and behavioral descriptions of this species are limited in the available literature.

The nesting habits of this species involve excavating burrows, a strategy typical among terrestrial kingfishers in the Actenoides group. Specific details …
Gürtelfischer
Der Gürtelfischer ist insofern ungewöhnlich, als das Weibchen bunter gefärbt ist als das Männchen und ein zusätzliches rostrotes Brustband trägt. Diese lauten Vögel kündigen ihr Revier mit einem markanten, ratternden Ruf an. Mit ihren kräftigen Schnäbeln graben sie bis zu 2,4 Meter tiefe Bruthöhlen in Flussufer.
