Avian Sighting July 2017 - Dollarbird


 The dollarbird  can be seen more often at coastal area than in the hither-land (inland) like in Rengit or Air Hitam SP. I believe when they are pairing & breeding mode they go further into hither-land  jungle.  I was lucky to catch this one  at eye level off the trail in Tanjung Karang Kuala Selangor  about 50-60 ft out . It was a solitary bird perched on a flimsy skin of a palm trunk. It would sally to catch flying insect or hopped to the ground to pick grubs.
