Kaelus-kuningkalur, Megaceryle torquata

Kaelus-kuningkalur on vägagi kogukas omasuguste seas (pikkust üle 40 cm) ning leidub teda Texase lõunaosast kuni Lõuna-Ameerika lõunatipuni. Sarnaselt meie jäälinnule (kes on peaaegu 3 korda väiksem) on tema jahipidamise meetodiks vee kohal olevalt oksalt kala järele sööstmine. See konkreetne isend ootas saaki Frio jõe kohale ulatunud oksal, Costa Rica põhjapiiril, Caño Negro kaitsealal.

Ringed Kingfisher is rather bulky compared to other kingfishers (length over 40cm) and it is found from Southern Texas to the southern tip of South America. Similarly to European kingfisher (that is almost 3 times smaller), the method of catching food is perching high over the water and plummeting from there after the fish. This bird was waiting for the prey on a branch by the Frio river, on the northern border of Costa Rica in Caño Negro Wildlife Refuge.
