About The Lilac-cheeked Kingfisher

Cittura cyanotis is restricted to Sulawesi, Indonesia (BirdLife International 2001). Its distribution is apparently fragmented, with no records from south Sulawesi, but is moderately common in almost all forested areas in north Sulawesi (Fry and Fry 1999, J. Riley in litt. 2013) and also present near Luwuk in east Sulawesi, near Masamba in south-central Sulawesi, and on the south-east peninsula (Fry and Fry 1999). Common in Tangkoko-Batuangus Reserve (Fry and Fry 1999).
