Little tidbit of info on kingfishers, Eiji Nakatsu was a birdwatcher and engineer for the company that built/operated the bullet trains "Shinkansen" in Japan. He was inspired by kingfishers to solve the trains sonic boom problem when exiting tunnels (pressure differentials). Kingfishers dive from one fluid (air) into one 800 times more dense (water) with very little splash. The aerodynamics of the bullet train were modified with the kingfisher as inspiration.

Their german name is Eisvogel (Icebird), while the "ice" is most likely coming from their iridescent feathers. Beautiful birds. Königsfischer (Kingfisher) was an old synonym for this bird here.

How can evolution design anything? Natural selection is an editor, not a designer. Natural selection can explain the survival of the fittest, but not the _arrival_ of the fittest.

Watching Kingfishers hunt in the wild is amazing their so fast like in a few seconds they dive and resurface with a whole fish in their beak

I grew up in the uk and since i was 2 a kingfisher has always lived in the brook (creek) in my harden.

King fisher: I am King Fisher! Shark: what did you say? King fisher: nothing.

I'd love an episode about the condor

Kingfishers :We are peaceful, timid, and calm birds. Kookaburra :Hold my fish.

The Laughing Kookaburra, AKA, the Kekaburra

In Dutch (and Norwegian as well apparently) we call it the ice bird, which is really funny because they keep dying en masse everytime winter gets slightly cold.

Believe me, these guyz have PhD on diving and accuracy... And pied kingfishers are amazing... They have PhD on diving, accuracy & gliding... The way they dive from a standstill position is mind boggling...

I've always love this bird since I was a kid...

The Raven wanted to marry a sparrow, but was rejected because of it's bad worm hunting, then moved on to try to marry a goose, and the geese were flying south, and he claimed he could keep up, but needed rest on the way, where he slept on top of the geese he wanted to marry ... yeah... two goose wives to be..., but they saw the other geese flying away as he slept on top of them, they needed to catch up, and threw him into the ocean, where he turned into the Sea Raven, an interesting looking bottom feeder, in case you find anything interesting to draw or tell about them. They are very interesting bottom feeders, lots of fins.

Man, seeing them dive with pinpoint accuracy gives me a lot of respect for these little birdbrains. I dived only once headfirst and that time I penetrated at least 3m of water and hit my head on the ground. I thus wonder how they prevent slamming their long beak into the ground.
