The Kofiau Paradise Kingfisher is a highly localized and beautiful species, characterized by its blue back, white underparts, and remarkably long tail streamers. It is endemic to a single island.
Where to spot
Exclusively found on Kofiau Island, off the coast of West Papua, Indonesia. It inhabits lowland rainforests and mature secondary growth on the island.
How to spot
Focus on dense forest patches within its very limited range. Look for its long tail streamers. Its calls, if known, would be a valuable aid in finding this localized and often shy species.
When to spot
Active during daylight hours, with peak activity likely in the morning and late afternoon. It is a resident species, observable throughout the year.
