About These Birds
Common Kingfisher
물총새는 수로의 눈부신 보석으로, 무지갯빛 파란 깃털과 밝은 주황색 아랫면이 물 위로 화살처럼 다이빙할 때 번쩍인다. 맑은 강과 개울, 호수 가에 서식하며 물고기를 주식으로 삼는다.

Wilson's bird-of-paradise is one of the most extraordinarily colored birds on Earth. Males meticulously clear a patch of forest floor as a display court, removing every leaf and twig. The species was virtually unknown to science until the late 20th century due to its restricted island range.
