Common Kingfisher 5”x7” (Sound on 🎶✨)
Fun Fact: You may have seen a kingfisher perched on a branch, bobbing its head up and down or side to side. What it’s doing is calculating the exact distance to the fish below. They can’t move their eyes inside their sockets, so they’re changing their viewing angles and switching between focal points. That allows them to compensate for the light (which is refracting and bending the image of the fish) so they catch their fish.
