It looks like the common/Eurasian/river kingfisher.

Thanks Kernuak. We don't have birds like that in Hawaii.

Red Tailed Hawk.  Photographed this past week with my 5D Mark iii, 100-400 4.5-5.6 L IS, ISO 640.  Cropped, brightened, contrast increased slightly and shadows lightened slightly for effect.

Let us take a break............... I have been visiting these owlets for two weeks. Half the time they had presented themselves for photo sessions and other times they would just give me a brief look up.

Gang Gang Cockatoo, female. I've had a number of them in the backyard over the past few days (both male and female). This one happily sat on a lower branch for 45min. The male sat higher up, in the canopy.
