July 9, 2021 - Ruddy Kingfisher (Halcyon coromanda)

These kingfishers live in forests in parts of east and Southeast Asia. They eat snails, crustaceans, fish, insects, and sometimes frogs and lizards, hunting from perches and dropping onto their prey. They nest in burrows in termite nests or cavities in trees. Females lay clutches of four to six eggs which both parents incubate.

          Ruddy kingfisher

The most attractive ruddy kingfisher also called Halcyon Coromanda.

It is an average sized tree kingfisher which is commonly distributed in east and Southeast Asia. The bird ranging from South Korea and Japan in the north, south through the Philippines to the Sunda Islands, and west to China and India. It is a migratory bird in the northern part of the range migrating as far south as Borneo during winter. 

In the vicinity of southern parts of its range, the ruddy kingfisher is uncommon in Japan, where it is extremely sought after by birders. The global population size has not been computed, but the species is reported to be extensive but usually rare and uncommon.

Ruddy kingfishers inhabit forested areas from the temperate to tropical zones, often in thick jungles and rainforests. The bird size is reaching approximately 25 cm; the ruddy kingfisher has a very big, bright red bill and equally red legs. The body is rust red, usually deepening to purple at the tail. There is slight sexual dimorphism though some sources state that male birds are somewhat brighter in plumage.

Such as kingfishers, ruddy kingfishers usually feed on fish, crustaceans, and big insects. However in areas with less running water, they’re famous to take frogs and other amphibians. The population is suspected to be in decline owing to loss of coastal mangroves as well as occasional collisions with lighthouses and collection for taxidermy. 

Due to its preference for heavily forested areas, the kingfisher’s high, descending call is more often heard than the bird itself is seen. These birds usually travel singly or in pairs. The binomial name recalls the Coromandel Coast of India.

         The fire-tailed myzornis

The fire-tailed myzornis (Myzornis pyrrhoura) is a bird species formerly placed in the Old World babbler family (Timaliidae). Its genus Myzornis is monotypic, and has recently been placed in the (much reduced) Old World warbler family Sylviidae. The species is found in Bhutan, China, India, Myanmar, and Nepal. The fire-tailed myzornis is a small species of warbler, 11 to 13 cm long and weighing 10 to 13 g.

The fire-tailed myzornis has bright green plumage with a black mask around the eyes and black scalloping on the crown. The fire-tailed myzornis prefers bamboo thickets, Rhododendron shrubs, birches, and junipers and localized distribution and travels in small groups (3-4) or with other small babblers. This species was socially monogamous and sexually dimorphic both in plumage pattern and body size.

The wing is black and white with a streak of bright red and the sides of the tail are red too. The bill is long, slightly curved and black. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. It is a common species in the upper ridges of the Sikkim and Arunachal Himalayas.

The fire-tailed myzornis is mostly seen between 9,000 feet to 13,000 according to climatic conditions and seasonal variation. The fire-tailed myzornis is capable of sustained stationary hovering flight much like sunbirds. It can also be seen running up moss-covered tree trunks like a creeper. Myzornis had larger and heavier nests, fewer but larger eggs, and a longer nestling period.

The fire-tailed myzornis normally eats insects, arachnids, berries, and flower nectar. The bird breeding season starts from April to July. Males and females made virtually equal contributions in breeding activities, including incubation, provisioning, brooding, and nest sanitation. The nest were built by both sexes and a globular structure made of moss and placed 1 to 6 m above the ground in moss, on a rock face or in a trunk with moss and lichen.

It is resident species with some altitudinal movement. This is usually a silent bird, can utter a high-pitched “tsit–tsit“. These life-history traits may facilitate its reproduction in the cold alpine areas of the Gaoligong Mountains. They have a very large range, and hence do not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the range size criterion. The population size has not been quantified, but it is not believed to approach the thresholds for Vulnerable.
