The belted kingfisher is one of the most widespread land birds in North America, occupying a diverse range of aquatic habitats. One of few bird species in which the female is more brightly colored than the male, in addition to the ashy-blue upper parts, white collar and broad, bluish-grey breast band, the female belted kingfisher has a chestnut band across the lower breast and streaks of chestnut on the sides. However, perhaps the most distinctive feature of this bird is its conspicuous, double-pointed crest set upon the large, blue head. The juvenile differs from the adult in its darker crest, blue breast band mixed with chestnut and wing feathers flecked with white . Like other members of the kingfisher family, this medium-sized species is short-necked, stout-bodied and has small, weak feet. The bill is straight, long and strong and flattened from the sides - an adaptation to its fish-eating lifestyle . An extremely vocal species, the belted kingfisher makes a number of sounds, including a harsh rattle, which is used in territorial disputes and a warbling call emitted by the female during courtship.
Found this Male along Peavine Road in Osceola County, Florida.

The Rufous Hummingbird migration has started. We will see these colorful little jewels over the course of the next several weeks temporarily resting in our area as they make their way North. Both the male and female Rufous are a very fesity lot! Their tiny size belies their bullied determination to claim and defend the feeders from other hummingbirds with amazing aerial tactics. This male Rufous played hide-and-seek with me for most of the evening before I was finally able to capture this shot.

Male fiddlers are easy to identify by their enlarged fiddler claws, which they wave or saw back and forth in a "fiddling" motion–not to fight predators, but to attract mates and discourage rivals.

About an hour after we spotted the female Sooty Grouse, we were lucky to find this male strutting his stuff about 100 yards away. We didn't see them "get together", but it's probably a safe bet that they did. Taken in Olympic National Park, Washington.
