Some wires are just about the prop er height above water to make ideal diving conditions. So wherever the wires parallel a roadside ditch, or a tidal flat, or cross a small stream, there sit the wise birds, care fully spaced one from an other, all waiting for a fish to show up. Never do two of the birds sit together. Each, too, is jealous of his or . her own territory. Each has a favorite spot, and in this particular spot each bird is pionarch of all he surveys. When disturbed, the king fisher will fly rapidly away, uttering a loud, rattling call that sounds something like a policeman's whistle. They sel dom fly- far, however, and then circle back. The kingfisher lives entire ly on fish, either salt or fresh water. They will not exactly "turn up their bills" at a toad, frog, or occasionally a small snake.

All the kingfishers are col orful, and all have a saucy little crest of feathers on the crown of the head that makes the bird look a little top heavy. The crest always looks a little ruffled-sort of like a small boy who got up in the morning and forgot to comb his hair. When, from his perch, whether it be the limb of a tree or a wire, the bird sees a fish, he dives head first, grabs the fish in his heavy bill, and returns to his fa vorite pearch to enjoy his catch. He can hover over the water by rapidly beating his wings, waiting for just the right moment to strike. He's particular In his se lection of, a nesting site. He prefers a sandbank or a rail road embankment, where with feet and bill, the bird digs a tunnel from four to s deep as 15 feet back into the bank. He makes an enlarged room at the far end where from six. to eight eggs are laid. Here, also, in the nest ing compartment the king fisher family spends the nights while the children are growing up. Sometimes the parent birds select a hollow tree, if the tree -happens to be near the water. In the absence of a natural sandbank, they may select a homesite in a highway em bankment. It's not that they prefer such, artificial, make shift substitutes. But birds, like men, sometimes follow the line of least resistance- all other things being equal.
