Media notes
Sacred Kingfisher perched outside back of house. This bird is one of a hunting pair spotted today. The picture quality is not fantastic, but it is unmistakable. The main reason I am posting is to document this species' presence at this location. A year ago I spotted Sacred Kingfisher and entered into a debate about that. I was told this could only be a migrant from Australia and it would be unlikely to be all the way on the north coast of Papua New Guinea. Now that I've been here a year and seen both Forest Kingfishers and Sacred Kingfishers, and see the differences, here is clear evidence that Sacred Kingfishers do repeatedly come to Madang, PNG. Elevation: 9 m. Date added to IBC: June 21, 2016.
