African Pygmy Kingfisher

Caption

This African pygmy kingfisher is an insect-eating bird in Ethiopian forests. It was among 51 bird species netted by University of Utah researchers who found that shade coffee farms in Ethiopia -- the native home of Arabica coffee -- are good for birds, but that some species do best in forest.
