Project Noah Fun Fact: Did you know the kingfisher is the largest bird that can hover and stay still in the air? Or that a family of Kingfishers eat up to a 100 fishes each day? Kingfishers have a cosmopolitan distribution, with most species found outside of the Americas. The sparrow-sized common kingfisher (Alcedo atthis), also known as Eurasian kingfisher, or river kingfisher, is a small kingfisher with seven subspecies recognized within its wide distribution across Eurasia and North Africa.
