Bushy head, bluish bird with a long beak. I used the Golden Field Guide to confirm that it was a kingfisher.
A red winged black bird chased the kingfisher into my path as I was kayaking in the backwaters of the Mississippi near Spruce Creek in Iowa. The area is moderately developed, but the core of engineers makes sure that much of the marshy areas, trees and beaches are left intact.
Photo by Kevin Cole found on Wikipedia. I saw this bird while kayaking and I wasn't able to take a picture.
