137). Red-back


We first saw these Red-backed Kingfishers in the West McDonald Mountains (the range running W from Alice Springs). Interestingly they are frequently far from water - it was incongruous to see them high in trees in such dry areas. This nice closeup is from the aviary at Desert Park.
