American Pygmy Kingfisher (Chloroceryle aenea) by Twan Leenders

Posted on Jan 17, 2014

I had to post another photo of an American Pygmy Kingfisher (Chloroceryle aenea) by Twan in Meet Your Neighbours style because it’s stupendous. If you have not seen it check out this video of Sean discussing the species while in Costa Rica as he and his team take data on birds during banding. You’ll be able to see that it is actually the size of a warbler! That’s quite different from our Belted Kingfisher, huh?
