Where to spot
Found on various islands in the North Pacific, including parts of Micronesia, such as the Northern Mariana Islands and other smaller island groups. They inhabit coastal areas, forests, woodlands, and urban areas.
How to spot
Look for them perched on exposed branches or wires, scanning for prey. Their vibrant blue-green plumage and white collar are characteristic. Listen for their sharp, rattling calls, which are typical of the Collared Kingfisher group.
