First one was way too bright... Just killing time today, riding around and shooting out the window of my pickup.
"Like other bird species in Guam, the Guam Micronesian Kingfisher (Halcyon cinnamomina cinnamomina) population was decimated after the arrival of the brown tree snake. Faced with imminent extinction in the wild, Guam’s Department of Aquatic and Wildlife Resources and several institutions captured the last 29 kingfishers between 1984 and 1986."

One of the greatest things about wildlife is finding it in the wild. I enjoy having the experience of solitude and time for self-searching while learning to appreciate other forms of life. It helps me gain perspective. That being said, I am delighted when I find an animal so wild, and generally unaccepting of human presence, that manages to plant itself in the midst of pandemonium. Such is the case of Mr. Promenade Kingfisher, who has found it acceptable to locate himself along one of the busiest corridors in southern New Jersey. Unbeknownst to me, the ponds in the busy strip mall are apparently full of minnows. Despite the blur and frenzy of traffic along Rt. 73, he fishes the ponds all day long. He takes breaks only to turn and watch the traffic go by on the busy highway, as if the cars are overgrown fish just waiting to be plucked from the road. But don’t be fooled, his seemingly unfettered acceptance of our complex culture doesn’t mean that he accepts people into his domain. In fact, try parking and stepping out of your vehicle. If you even move within several hundred feet of him, he will begin to rattle noisily, and shortly thereafter, relocate himself to the farthest reaches of the pond. Even the Cosmopolitan kingfisher has his limits. #Kingfisher
The American Pygmy Kingfisher is the smallest of the kingfishers. Measuring less than half he length of many of the larger Kingishers, at only about 5 inches in length, this uncommon bird is easily overlooked. Despite its smaller size, this little bird shares all of the attributes of its larger cousins, from hunting techniques to diet and nesting habitats. They are beautiful, fascinating birds proving the old adage that “good things come in small packages.” #AmericanPygmyKingfishers

Greetings, fellow FebRoverers! I couldn't possibly miss this wonderful annual event, so I've created this little Ice Planet themed rover to share with you! Fun fact: the black-capped Kingfisher (Halcyon pileata) inspired me to build this rover. If you google this bird up, you'll notice the resemblance to the colour scheme of the Ice Planet 2002 LEGO sets! (Front View)

Our first tram stop at Bentsen-Rio was the Kingfisher Overlook. As we were watching a ringed kingfisher at the far end of the resaca, this male green kingfisher landed some 20 yards from our viewpoint. Pretty birds!!
