Meet the Eastern Dwarf Kingfisher
The eastern dwarf kingfisher (Ceyx erithaca) is the most brightly colored and smallest species of kingfisher, measuring only 5 to 5.5 inches (13 to 14 cm) long, including the beak and tail.
The beak and legs are orange-red.
Males and feмales appear virtually identical, while juveniles are generally less colorful.
These birds have a huge geographical distribution in much of Southeast Asia, southern China and the Indian subcontinent.
The eastern dwarf kingfisher prefers to inhabit areas near small streams in densely shaded lowland forests.
Like other kingfisher species, the eastern dwarf kingfisher hunts from a perch.
In southwest India, the eastern dwarf kingfisher breeds in June, with the onset of the southwest monsoon.
The Eastern Dwarf Kingfisher is classified as a “Species of Least Concern” according to the IUCN Red List and is not globally threatened.
