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.

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.
