Had my closest ever encounter with a kingfisher!

I think this is a sharp-shinned hawk; I see Cooper's hawks more often. This bird seemed small, and their head and bill shapes look a little different than a Cooper's. I could be wrong, though.
This bird landed on one side of the tree and perched for a bit. Then, they hopped and ran to the other side of the tree before taking off (right after this photo).

Fruits of love … a male kākāpō sitting on a tree on Codfish Island in New Zealand. The world’s heaviest parrots started breeding last week for the first time in four years, giving hope of a big boost to the small population. The native rimu trees are producing a bumper crop of berries, the kākāpō’s main food, which conservationists hope will lead to a record number of chicks for the critically endangered bird.

An adorable Blue-gray Gnatcatcher.
Always nice to get a photo, since they never stop moving
