Belted Kingfisher

  

   In the area of the Big White Oak, The place where "Brothers by Fire" starts, you can find an abundance of birds. One of the most interesting and somewhat secretive is the Belted Kingfisher. Many times you can see them sitting on a branch, looking down at the water. He's looking for small minnows.
   When there are two of them, they each face a different direction. If one gets tired of watching a certain spot he flips end for end and at the very same time, the other does the same thing. You never see two looking the same direction.  
   When one spots a minnow, he leaps from the branch and dives headlong toward his intended victim. Then up he comes in a cloud of water droplets, his fresh fish meal in his beak.
   You can find the EBook Kindle edition of this book, "Brothers by Fire" at Amazon.com and at www.peaceriverbooks.com. The Peace River Books blog is updated each day. 
   Stop in once in a while. I'll try to write something new and informative about my book Brothers by Fire.
Good Reading,
Ron
