Blue-throated Bee-eater

Corasiformes - Meropidae - Merops viridis (Beberek Leher Biru/Berek-berek Rengkung Biru)


A bright green insect hunter with a long bill and triangular starling-like wings. Adult has a bright blue throat, orange-brown crown and nape, and long trailing central tail feathers. Sexes are alike. Juveniles have a paler blue throat, no orange-brown coloration, and no long tail extensions. Often hunts from exposed perches such as telephone lines or snags, on which it rubs its venomous quarry so as to disarm it. Call is a bright, inflected “chileep.”

Of all sizes and stages, but of one focus and goal.
