I love Kingfishers! They’re one of my favorite birds. Something about their oversized heads haha

Ha, yeah that beak is out of proportion. I love them too. It's so much fun watching them hunt.

My bird net pi keeps detecting these but I haven’t spotted one yet myself. 😢

if this is Ms. Kingfisher

i wonder how Mr. Queenfisher looks like

Gorgeous. 💜💜💜

They are some of my favorite birds even though I've only ever seen one on a single occasion. I did watch it for a while as it hunted.

It's super cool watching them dive bomb into the water like a spear. They're so fast.

Exactly!
