	Kingfishers
		The Kingfishers are a fairly large family of distinctive birds scattered around the globe.
		This group of kingfishers, perhaps the most primitive of the lot, includes the forest dwelling kookaburras of Australasia, the woodland kingfishers of Africa and Australia, and a wide selection of elusive kingfishers from southeast Asia, the Philippines, and Indonesia.
		Although we often think of these type of kingfishers when we think of the family, there are only 9 species of Cerylinae kingfishers and thus they comprise only 10% of the family.

	San Diego Zoo's Animal Bytes: Kingfisher
		Kingfishers like to keep clean and bathe by diving into water, then perching in the sun to dry and preen their feathers.
		Kingfishers that live in forests, grasslands, and deserts have a different diet, dining on a variety of insects, spiders, reptiles, and small mammals, which they catch by spying the prey from a perch and darting out to snap it up.
		Kingfishers have a variety of calls used to announce their territory, warn off other birds, and communicate with a mate and their chicks, such as shrieks, screams, clicks, whistles, chuckles, rattles, and chirps.

	Hilton Pond This Week June 22-28, 2000 (Belted Kingfisher) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		Kingfishers are interesting birds to watch in nature, and they're even more amazing in the hand.
		Although the kingfisher doesn't peck like woodpeckers or tear like small birds of prey, it DOES have the ability to clamp down VERY hard with its long, straight beak--just what you might expect from a bird that has to hold tight to a fish it grabs after diving into the water.
		Kingfishers are also unusual in that they burrow several feet into earthen embankments and excavate a nest chamber that is bound to be odoriferous from all the fish adults bring the young.

		A Grey phase bird was seen at the Cathedral Figtree on the 12th, and a further grey phase bird was perched by the roadside near Kingfisher Park on the 16th.
		The monotonous call, like chopping wood, was commonly heard at Kingfisher park, and on the 13th males calling from dead branches were successfully tracked down with the spotlight.

	Malaysia 2000
		Heard a male Banded Pitta close to the trail on the upper side of the loop, which responded well to tape and gave excellent brief views to 3 of us, then continued to call whilst heading further and further off the trail.
		The trip up river was very quiet, with no kingfishers etc (having all been disturbed by the numerous boats during the day), but the drift downstream from 5-30pm was restful and relaxing, if not initially bird-filled.
		Brown-winged Kingfishers were common as ever along the quieter stretches, and we also found a couple of Black-bellied Malkohas, Greater Flamebacks etc. Highlight of the trip however was Mr Dai's hilarity at the antics of KB acting as "the boatman's apprentice" trying to free the outboard from submerged foliage in a narrow mangrove backwater.

	RPBO Mirror - Postings for 2003
		After 72 days of banding, we have banded 2907 birds of 59 species at a rate of ~40 birds banded/day (this banding total is 33% above 5-year average for same period!).
		The banding highlights are: an immature female Northern Harrier banded on July 30 (only the third ever banded at RPBO, and first since 1996), a Pileated Woodpecker on August 28, and our first banding records for both Belted Kingfisher (2 birds!) on August 16 and Red Crossbill on August 17 (also 2 birds!).
		After 11 days of banding in July, we banded 358 birds of 36 species, and our average capture/day rate was much higher than the norm (32.5 birds banded/day vs. long term average of 24; for comparison, in 2002 our July average was 28).

		Large Wren-babbler (1), Banded Pitta (1), Great Slaty Woodpecker, Black Hornbill, Red-naped Trogon (1 male) and Crested Woodpartridge (7) were also seen on this loop. Lots of mosquitoes.
		Possibly this is the best place to see Bat Hawk, we saw it twice there and it comes a lot closer than at the floating restaurants —we could even see its white malar stripes.
		WV flushed one and saw it briefly at 15h00 (!) on 18/07, while he was looking for Banded Pitta off the Jenut Muda trail.

		Khao Yai can always be relied upon to produce a good range of brightly coloured, middle-sized, arboreal forest birds: in a single day, we reached double figures of one of these, Blue-bearded Bee-eater.
		Others included Banded Kingfisher, Banded Broadbills, Orange-breasted and Red-headed Trogons, Green Magpies and three species of laughingthrushes.
		Our short sojourn on the scenic Andaman coast of the far south produced the expected Nordmann's Greenshank, Great Knot and Brown-winged Kingfishers a short distance from our hotel in Krabi, and a good variety of Malaysian forest birds further afield, at Ban Nai Chong and Khao Nor Chuchi.
