I wheedled my way into walking around these peoples property along a river today
and I heard a splash and just glimpsed this gorgeous little kingfisher catch a fish, bash it, and then swallow it!
I videoed part of it, the part where it flew onto a perch and swallowed the fish in the distance
stopped filming
kept walking
and Bang

the same little guy flew down,
nabbed a fish
and flew off

It was definitely an Australian kingfisher with blue wings and a red breast?

Never saw a kingfisher.

There are plenty of hummingbirds around here, though.

You never heard of the Red-Headed Fire-Spitting South Dakotan Hummer?

I am shocked, simply shocked.

Isn't it Purple-Headed Fire-Spitting South Dakotan Hummer? Those are common in Scandinavia.

Did you not know that the Red-Headed Fire-Spitting South Dakotan Hummer has a purple head when visiting Scandinavia because the poor little birds are frostbitten?

Okay, you all need to take a moment to brush up on the facts! ! The only real South Dakota is in Scandanavia. All the other South Dakotas are just wannabes!! ! Not only that, but in Scandanavia, purple is red!! !! There is a scholarly article somewhere, stating these facts, but I can't find it. You'll just have to take my word for this, okay?!?!?! Oh - and it wasn't a bat, it was a flying fox! !! !! !! !! !

Wonder why someone around here who lives in Scandinavia did not tell us the true facts about South Dakota.

This someone around here who lives in Scandinavia may have thought that the true facts about South Dakota are well-kept secrets.
