    Hallo Betty,
    ein sehr hübscher Besucher ist Dein Eisvogel.
    Hier bei uns sehe ich ihn sehr selten.

    Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland

    I had never thought of kingfisher as unsociable, but you are right! Put a never come near our house.

    My visitors are usually chipmunks eating my tomatoes. I do have a thistle attracting finches though.

    For us, the Kingfisher is called "Eisvogel."
    I love and admire these rare birds very much!

    I don't think I've seen a Kingfisher. And I thought they liked water. Did I just make that up or do you have a stream or something nearby?

    I am green with photographers envy of your Kingfisher. I have the worst picture I’ve ever blogged in my post today, because I was so proud to finally get a picture of one (even a bad one). I do actually appreciate yours showing what a good one looks like! (Ours that I see aren’t as colorful and pretty as yours in the first place, but they are better than my picture shows.)

    I used to like to see kingfisher but these days, I prefer them to keep their distance. I suspect they and other birds have been fishing off my fish pond. My guppies are dwindling in number.

    You must have water in your garden if your attacking these birds. I live near marshy areas, so I see them above the roads while driving. But I've never seen one in my garden.

    I would be jumping through hoops (at great personal risk) if a kingfisher visited my backyard!

    Lovely. It is the Sacred Kingfisher species. Apparently the holy bird for Polynesians, who believed the bird had control over the waves. I love these fun facts related to birds :)
