Media notes

Taking off. Remarks: On our visit we only saw dark morph birds fishing from a concrete seawall. They foraged like a kingfisher, flying out over the water, grabbing fish from the water's surface with their bill and returning to the wall. Such aerial feeding was noted by Hancock & Kushlan (1984) and Marchant & Higgins mention that they may "hover while stabbing at water from air." - JM. Date added to OBI: March 26, 2019.
