The bird you heard is the same as the African species heard in many Tarzan
films. Its migratory strategy is unique, crossing the Atlantic close to the
equator, and hence it is known as the Doldrums Kookaburra, *Dacelo
tristitiae. *A number of unconfirmed reports of this most enigmatic
kingfisher by fishermen from the island of San Seriffe suggest that it feeds
with flocks of Shearwaters during its migration in early April.

On the subject of Kookaburra species newly discovered in the media, has
anyone noticed the South American Jungle Kookaburra which can clearly be
heard calling in the Brazillian rainforest at the start of the first
"Indiana Jones" movie?
Wouldn't it be great to see one of those?...
