Amazon Kingfisher and Green Kingfisher Chloroceryle amazona - Chloroceryle americana |
For the time being we will deal with the females of these two species since the Amazon Kingfisher male has not been photographed yet. Since the beginning of the reserve this species has been reluctant to appear. Sharing the same habitat and behaviour we must find differences in physical characteristics. Size is significant between these two species, the Amazon being 9 cm longer than the Green one. Bill's size is also to be taken into account. |
