リュウキュウアカショウビン
メスはどこも抱卵に入っているので見つかるのはオスばかり。先週から一斉に抱卵に入りました。
A male Ruddy Kingfisher paired with a different female from last year. They built their nest in a Formosan subterranean termite mound, but the entrance has broken open and the incubating female is in plain sight — I wonder if that's okay…
This one's mate, the female, also nested in a termite mound. About 10 m to the west of last year's site.
He was every bit the male. I was worried this year because the birds were late to arrive on migration, but he came back to his usual territory. ^^
