[Photo] Australian Paradise Buff-breasted Kingfisher, Tanysiptera sylvia. "The Paradise Buff-breasted Kingfisher migrates here from New Guinea to breed. Usually arriving in the Wet Tropics of Australia in the last days of October or the first weeks of November. They excavate nesting chambers in active termite mounds on the ground. The adult birds normally depart Australia in late March with the young remaining behind for another 4 to 6 weeks." Photographed at Thylogale by David & Diane Armbrust.
