Rufous-backed Dwarf-Kingfisher
from $13.95
(Ceyx rufidorsa)
While wandering up a stream in East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia on the hunt for snakes, I glanced up to an eye level branch and spotted something rather unexpected, this incredible kingfisher. What was even more surprising to me, is that it sat still as I snapped a few photos from arms length. Some have described to me their immense struggle to find this bird in the wild, let alone get a photo of it. I do not take this moment for granted.
This small but fierce bird is known to prey upon a variety of forest critters. It waits patiently on a limb, often above a stream or mangrove, for an unsuspecting insect, fish, lizard, or even crab to swim or walk by. The kingfisher will then swoop down and grab its victim in the blink of an eye.
