The Three Primary Colors of Ishigaki Island Light (video)

The three primary colors of light on Ishigaki Island: Ryukyu Kingfisher (Red), Common Emerald Dove (Green), and Collared Kingfisher (Blue). Right now you can see all three — RGB — in one go. ^^

Ruddy Kingfisher

A Ruddy Kingfisher near home. Looks like the same individual as last year.

Emerald Dove

A Emerald Dove also viewable near home. For this time of year, it was oddly a juvenile. Strange, given that breeding hasn't even started yet….

Emerald Dove

Same individual as above. No wariness at all, so I was able to observe it up close.

Collared Kingfisher

A Collared Kingfisher with a muddy belly from catching prey.

Collared Kingfisher

It was regurgitating a pellet.
