The Kingfisher is a large saucy bird with a grayish blue coat. It ranges from Labrador to Florida and measures twelve to thirteen inches. A white spot sits in front of each eye, with minute speckling on wings and short tail. Its rakish crest runs to the neck. The bird is more aloof as streams near habitat are fished out. It perches above streams waiting to strike prey, dropping and diving to catch fish before returning with dinner.
