This bird is a kingfisher, although I cannot find what particular species at the moment. We saw plenty of birds, but only a couple of this particular species. One of my favorites of those that we saw...really interesting markings and features. It seemed as though about half of the birds were shoreline birds, roosting or hunting in the rivergrass, under sheltered areas, etc., and half were so far up in the trees that it was tough to get any pictures of them.
Might not just be my imagination that very few birds live or roost in between, since at least two species of monkeys (howler and spider) appear to favor that middle vertical section of the jungle, and some of the monkeys would eat either the birds or their eggs if given the chance. At least some of the shoreline birds stuck around to let us take photos.
