Dollar bird perches on a tall dead tree branch at Licuala Hill, Zone I |
Today I'm extremely lucky to have another shot of the Dollar bird, belonging to the Roller family. From my experience so far, I have only seen this bird coming to town solo. Its red beak and bluish body is very attractive. From far, I couldn't specifically recognise this bird because the shot was taken from about 100 meters. After zooming in on the image then it's confirmed. This Dollar bird is known to build nest in a hole of the coconut tree.Apparently on this sighting it did not utter any call or sound.
In the background is the Dollar bird, abut 100 meters away. Note the colourful red flushes of a jungle treelet at the foreground. View from Botanic Island Two, Zone I, looking north. |
