Colophon
The animal on the cover of Developing Android Applications for Adobe AIR is the Royal Flycatcher (Onychorhynchus coronatus). This bird’s most distinctive feature is a regal, fan-like crest, which gives the bird its scientific name (from the Latin corōna, for garland or crown). This colorful crest is usually tucked down against the bird’s head, and only appears when it is courting or agitated. The Royal Flycatcher’s habitat ranges from Mexico through Central and South America, and four localized subspecies are recognized.
Measuring 16‒16.5 cm long, the Royal Flycatcher has mostly dull brown plumage, though there is slight variation across subspecies in the coloring of the rump and tail, which can range from bright cinnamon to a darker rust color. Its whitish throat is contrasted with a yellow underbelly. When visible, the bird’s striking crest is colored scarlet (in the male) or bright yellow (in the female), highlighted with blue- and black-colored tips and spots.
As its name implies, the Royal Flycatcher appears to primarily eat aerial insects, such as dragonflies. Its natural habitat is humid and deciduous lowland forest, and so deforestation in Ecuador and Brazil has resulted in a vulnerable status for some Royal Flycatcher subspecies. While these birds may forage in a wide range of habitats, an intact, moist forest is necessary for survival during the breeding season. There is similarity in voice across subspecies, with each producing a clear pree-o call similar to that made by the jacamar and manakin, fellow tropical birds.
The cover image is from Johnson’s Natural History. The cover font is Adobe ITC Garamond. The text font is Linotype Birka; the heading font is Adobe Myriad Condensed; and the code font is LucasFont’s TheSansMonoCondensed.
