Kingfisher

The Kingfisher is a vibrant bird, known for its iridescent plumage that shimmers with blues, greens, and turquoise. It frequents bodies of water, such as rivers, streams, and lakes, where it perches on branches or rocks, patiently watching for prey. 1 With incredible speed and accuracy, it dives headfirst into the water to snatch fish and other aquatic creatures. 2 The Kingfisher's distinctive call is a sharp, rattling sound, often heard echoing near its watery domain. 3
