Synopsis: 4.4. animals: Birds: Kingfisher:

what youd call a high roller, but Ive taken my share of lickings up there up to $9, 000 or $10, 000 on a few nights.

and put the fish on a par with other long-distance seed movers of the animal world African hornbills and Asian elephants.

what gives redheads their hair colour and Red Forest birds such as the hoopoe (Upupa epops) their distinctive palette of light browns and their orange crown feathers.

The shape looks like a Kingfisher. Flip Colmer a former Navy pilot who now flies for Delta also with Bentprop reaches for the book Floatplanes in Action

The Kingfisher O'brien explains was flown typically for observation and to rescue downed pilots. If they were in this deep it would have been on a risky endeavor.

Bentprop knew that two Kingfishers on reconnaissance missions had disappeared during the war and the western lagoon seemed the most likely location for them to have ended up.

Well it's not a Kingfisher he says. After descending to the plane O'brien noticed that the windscreen on the cockpit was located behind the wing.

In Kingfishers it was situated in front. He'd also detected a subtle distinction in the shape of the fuselage near the tail.

and those of their bee-eater bird hosts hasn't evolved to trick hosts into accepting the imposter egg as one of their own.

and in this case dug many holes into rock-hard soil to reach bee-eater nests and carry out these experiments!

-and wildlife such as the Blue-banded Kingfisher and Whitehanded Gibbons as well for its rare and beautiful flora like Rafflesia's--known to hold some of the largest flowers on earth.
