Ringed kingfisher (Megaceryle torquata)


The loud and brash ringed kingfisher looks like a super-sized version of a belted kingfisher. This steely blue and rich chestnut bird is nearly the size of an American crow, with a massive, daggerlike bill it uses to grab fish out of freshwater rivers and lakes. It often perches for long periods in the open on a bare branch, bridge or utility wire over water. Common in much of Latin America, it barely reaches into the U.S. in southern Texas.
