The plumage of most kingfishers is bright, with green and blue being the most common colours. The brightness of the colours is neither the product of iridescence or pigments, but is instead caused by the structure of the feathers, which causes scattering of blue light (the Tyndall effect).
The kingfishers have long, dagger-like bills. The bill is usually longer and more compressed in species that hunt fish, and shorter and more broad in species that hunt prey off the ground. The largest and most atypical bill is that of the shovel-billed kookaburra, which is used to dig through the forest floor in search of prey. They generally have short legs, although species that feed on the ground have longer tarsi. Most species have four toes, three of which are forward-pointing.
The irises of most species are dark brown. The kingfishers have excellent vision; they are capable of binocular vision and are thought in particular to have good colour vision. They have restricted movement of their eyes within the eye sockets, instead using head movements to track prey. In addition, they are capable of compensating for the refraction of water and reflection when hunting prey underwater, and are able to judge depth under water accurately. They also have nictitating membranes that cover the eyes to protect them when they hit the water; the pied kingfisher has a bony plate which slides across the eye when it hits the water.
"It is easy to recollect the good things of life, the times when one's heart rejoices and expands, when everything is enfolded in kindness and love; it is easy to recollect the fineness of life-how noble one was, how generous one felt, what courage one showed in the face of adversity.":
- Oliver Sacks

Thick layers of volcanic tuff are shaped into fantastically chiseled features by the deft hand of erosion, Wheeler Geologic Area, La Garita Wilderness, Colorado.
One of the largest volcanic explosions the Earth has ever endured is thought to have occurred not far from the location seen here when the La Garita Caldera erupted approximately 28 million years ago. Ash from the explosion was deposited in extraordinary layers 300 feet thick (100 m), and after a thirty year effort to map it, the Caldera was discovered to be gargantuan, comprising an area that is oblong in shape and roughly 22 miles (35 km) by 47 miles (75 km). The volume of material let loose into the atmosphere is estimated to be 4,800 times that of the Mount Saint Helens eruption. The only known explosion of greater force the Earth has known is when the meteorite that pushed the dinosaurs to extinction slammed into the Yucatán Peninsula.
An incite to the inside of the Heron's beak.
Grey herons are large, striking birds often spotted standing motionless at the water's edge. Having found a suitable location, herons stand and wait patiently for the right moment to stab passing prey with their dagger-like beaks. They also wade through shallow water searching for small fish and amphibians. Herons fly with their head drawn back and feet trailing behind. The wing beats are slow and their curved wings form an m-shape.
Nature's free bounty and useless extravagance had never appeared so fantastically beautiful as it did this spring. I had an uncomfortable suspicion that Nature had come to reconquer the earth for herself.”
― Yukio Mishima
