Amazon Kingfisher

Brazil

www.texastargetbirds.com

One group of birds that seems to get everyone excited is the kingfishers and the Pantanal has them in spades. One of the more exciting species for our group was the Amazon Kingfisher since it only rarely shows up in the US. We saw a great many during the trip and took quite a few photos. This one was particularly accommodating as it was joining in the feeding frenzy in the water hole below, competing with the caiman for fish.

Marvelous image of this beauty! Here they are so very shy and hard to capture! V
