Amazon kingfisher        Images © Mark A. Chappell

Amazon kingfishers occur on streams, ponds, and lakes in Central and South America.   I took this photo of a female at a small forest pond on the old Gamboa road between Panama City and Gamboa, Panama.   Two other common kingfishers in Panama are the smaller, slimmer-billed green kingfisher and the much larger ringed kingfisher
