RE: Feathered Friday - Belted Kingfisher

in Feathered Friends16 hours ago

The brown-hooded kingfisher is a species of bird in the subfamily Halcyoninae, the tree kingfishers. It has a brown head and blackish and turquoise wings. It is found in Sub-Saharan Africa, living in woodland, scrubland, forest edges, and also suburban areas.

We don't have wolves or coyotes, Cape Fox & Bat-eared Fox, the jackal is bigger, only ever seen one jackal on the move and one bat-eared fox in my life, so you are fortunate with wildlife close to you.

The black-backed jackal is a medium-sized canine native to eastern and southern Africa. These regions are separated by roughly 900 km. One region includes the southernmost tip of the continent, including South Africa, Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe.

Wow that's quite a fancy looking kingfisher. All of them are quite uniquely colored and have some kind of blue hue to them.
