What did the salad say to the fridge?

Shut the door, I’m dressing!

Interesting Fact: Pleistocene fossils of Belted Kingfishers (to 600,000 years old) have been unearthed in Florida, Virginia, Tennessee, and Texas. The oldest known fossil in the kingfisher genus is 2 million years old, found in Alachua County, Florida. ( https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Belted_Kingfisher )

    Great pic! With the “new normal” I have actually noticed more birds than I usually would, loving it!

      It’s crazy how busy we are on the daily bases, that it takes something this big to realizes if we only slow down for one minute. We can see and hear so much more. Thank you very much for stopping by and checking out my post. Stay Safe and Happy Blogging! 🙂

    That is an amazing fact. I see belted kingfishers regularly and would not have imagined that I was seeing a bird that has existed so many years.
