    Cool Kingfisher.  I’ve never seen one in the wild around here.

    We’ve seen a few over at Seahurst park (a couple weekends ago).  We didn’t get a super good view, but could identify them by their call and then we watched them dive in the water to catch their lunch.

Sorry, comment time is over.
