Martín pescador,Green Kingfisher

Wonderful spotting! such an experience I want to have :-)

What a beautiful Handful!

wow love it

Karen your ID is perfect no doubt... Let any bird expert say about this.

It could be - but C. americana range also includes Columbia so I don't know if it is that or the sub-species!

Karen I have no doubt about your suggestion. I find following reference so rechecked Wiki information... where I find subspecie images at below mention link... http://surfbirds.com/albums/showphoto.php/photo/8567

Ashish, are you sure it is the sub-species?

Hi Karen correct your suggestion with Binomial ID- Chloroceryle americana septentrionalis what is mentioned on your reference link.

Sweet little guy - is there a story here?

Or American Pygmy Kingfisher..?

A Woodpecker..?
