About These Birds
Black-capped Kingfisher
The Black-capped Kingfisher is a Vulnerable, vividly colored kingfisher of South and Southeast Asian coasts and wetlands, with a striking black cap, white collar, blue-purple upperparts, and rufous underparts. It breeds in East Asia and winters south to South and Southeast Asia along coastal mangroves, tidal flats, and wetland margins. It feeds on fish, crabs, and large insects.
Black-headed Paradise-kingfisher
The Black-headed Paradise-kingfisher is a spectacularly ornate kingfisher with a black head, vivid turquoise-blue upperparts, white underparts, and extraordinarily long white tail streamers. It inhabits lowland and hill rainforests of the Bismarck Archipelago, including New Britain and Manus, in Papua New Guinea. It hunts insects, lizards, and earthworms in the forest understory, often diving to the ground to capture prey.
