This White-throated Kingfisher carving was hand-crafted from solid Basswood. The White-throated Kingfisher is also known as the White-breasted Kingfisher. The male has a white throat and breast with a chocolate-brown head and underparts. His wings, tail and back are turquoise. The colors of the female are very similar, with the brown parts being less dark. The calls include a loud shrill kek-kek which trails off, a harsh repeated klip and also a piercing staccato laugh.
