One of my favorite birds, the White-throated Kingfisher (किलकिला, श्वेतकण्ठ कौड़िल्ला) / Halcyon Smyrnensis - and is the birds that I look forward to photographing every time I go to my home in Jabalpur, India. They are so distinctive and beautiful, once hunted in abundance for their feathers. Their song all day long makes it tempting to go out and the reason they are called "KilKila" in Hindi, which means non-stop blabbering. If you want to make anyone fall in love with bird watching, especially in urban areas of India, it is the go-to bird.

Bird Facts: White-throated Kingfisher is also called Tree Kingfisher. It can often be found well away from water bodies, especially in urban areas, where it feeds on a wide range of prey that includes small reptiles, amphibians, crabs, small rodents, and even birds. It is the only kingfisher known for hunting outside waters and makes it a master hunter.
