The Guam kingfisher is a medium-sized bird
(roughly the size of a robin ) with a large
head and strong beak. It is an aggressive bird that
establishes and defends nesting territories, and it has a loud, raspy,
distinct call.
This species was once found only on the island of Guam but is now extinct
in the wild. In Chamorro, this species is known as "sihek" on
Guam.
