Yeah idk how old those recordings are honestly. And I'm sure I've heard that mentioned before but that may have not been well-known by the people who took those recordings. I know a native bird died in captivity recently besides the Mariana mallard, but I wasn't sure this was it

And the problem here is that recently this was considered a subspecies rather than a distinct species of the collared kingfisher? I feel like I'm mixing it up somehow.. But hey, I'm not the bird person, let's ask

@peacelovenunity our Sihek Guåhan differs from the Sihek Marianas. They’re both beautiful. Guam’s is a cinnamon color. Our Guam sihek is extinct in the wild, but I hope we will see then return soon.pic.twitter.com/zJ0gjbHFoK

@HafaAJ sorted it out! @LaniKnowsBetter , you were right that Mariana kingfisher was originally a subspecies of the collared kingfisher complex. it was recently split into its own species. Guam kingfisher has always been recognized as its own species1 reply 0 retweets 1 like
Thank you Henry for the info, it's much appreciated. Love your pics of native birds btw! Especially the ones on Rota.
