Hi, Kitty Mittens, thanks for showing your phoebe, even though I guess he is lonesome for a girl phoebe... Well, it's Spring! What do we expect!!...:)

Here is a bird photo I recently found but don't know the exact name of the little cutie. Enjoy!

Your little bird looks mighty powerful to be so little! I’d love to know what it is....

That beak is for catching fish..It’s a Kingfisher..One of my of my most fun bird watching finds closeby. I kept hearing a loud strange almost rattling bird song..so I got my binoculars and went hunting..He was up on a high electric line in a green belt two houses down.

They normally are near rivers and lakes ..Our lake is near but not that near I thought .Mine was a Belted Kingfisher as I believe your picture depicts. A dramatic looking bird indeed...larger than a robin.
