How to spot

When to spot
Resident year-round. Active during daylight hours. Best observed in the early mornings and late afternoons.

Despite its striking coloration, this kingfisher is often difficult to spot in its dense forest habitat, as its colors blend surprisingly well with the dappled light and shadows of the undergrowth.
