Belted Kingfisher
Why do fish live in salt water?
Because pepper makes them sneeze!
Interesting Fact: The Belted Kingfisher is one of the few bird species in which the female is more brightly colored than the male. Among the nearly 100 species of kingfishers, the sexes often look alike. In some species the male is more colorful, and in others the female is.

I used the same fact in a short story I’m working on. I have a great little king fisher that likes to perch on my dock poles. He can feel when I’m looking at him from my kitchen. I never have a chance to pick up the camera before he flies.
