They're pretty cool. There's a kingfisher that lives in or near the river gully near my cabin.

That thing is just amazeing! It's got to have at least a 6' wingspan. You can hear the whoosh..whoosh..whoosh sound as he flys away. I think he likes fishing in the river there.

Damn thing scares me all the time! Have to walk by this gully to get to the cabin. I swear when he takes off, his wings nearly touch each side of the gully.

Are you sure that it is a Kingfisher? Most of them are around 11 inches long. The biggest is 20 inches, which means that they have a small wingspan.

Guess not... that's what my grandfather always called it.

Umm, it kinda looks like a pelican. About the same size and everything except it doesn't have that weird beak for holding fish in.

My guess would have to be some type of a Gull or possibly some type of Heron.

That is awesome!! There's a hawk that flies around here as part of his territory and his wing span is big. I can imagine how awesome it is to see an eagle gliding through the air an d hunting for fish right in front of you.
