Dear eBirders
Sacred Kingfishers are returning to the ACT for the summer and being reported in eBird. At the same time, the Red-backed Kingfisher is still being reported at Campbell Park. Because both species will be present there, can I ask everyone to in future add
brief info to Red-backed records to make it clear that it is indeed the Red-backed being reported. eBird has welcomed quite a few new birders this year and for these folk especially, a little care may be needed. For Red-backed the easiest features to look
for are the rusty red back and the streaky greyish crown. If the bird has even a hint of yellow or pale orange on the underparts, and a blueish crown it will be a Sacred.
Happy birding
Kim
ACT eBird reviewer
