There are 87 Different Species of Kingfisher’s in the world and this one can fly about 36 miles per hour. Luckily I caught this one sitting down for a minute. And this is the first one I have ever seen. What a surprise to see it yesterday as we were out for a drive. This one is the Belted Kingfisher.

The Belted Kingfisher is one of the few bird species in which the female is more brightly colored than the male.

Now this is a new bird to me also, but with the help of other bloggers I discovered that it is a female Grosbeak, and with this species the male is way more colorful than the female.

I just put a photo of the Colorful Blue Jay in to fill the page. 🙂
