Amazon Kingfisher with Fish
This Amazon Kingfisher (Chloroceryle amazona) grips a freshly caught fish in her bill, perched on a riverside branch. I photographed her from a boat on the SarapiquĂ River, on the way to Corcovado Wilderness Lodge in Costa Rica. This original photograph is available in a variety of formats, from wall art to gifts.
Her plumage shows deep, glossy green across the head and back, set off by a crisp white throat. The catch hangs from her bill, caught in the same instant it was speared. Soft green forest blurs behind her, keeping every bit of focus on the moment.

Amazon Kingfisher Photography Note Card
Caught mid-meal with a tiny fish in her bill — an original wild kingfisher note card for birders, anglers, and fishing dads who want a card worth keeping.
I photographed this Amazon Kingfisher in Costa Rica while traveling by boat along the SarapiquĂ River. She had just caught a tiny fish and paused on a riverside branch long enough for the shot, one of those quick, lucky moments that makes wildlife watching feel like treasure hunting with feathers.
I print every 5 x 7 note card in my Henniker studio on heavyweight Red River Linen cardstock, holding the glossy green plumage, the white collar, and the soft riverbank background. The card ships flat with a matching envelope and protective sleeve, ready to gift, mail, or frame — a greeting card worth keeping long after it's sent.
