From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Kingfisher \King"fish`er\, n. (Zo[94]l.)
      Any one of numerous species of birds constituting the family
      {Alcedinid[91]}. Most of them feed upon fishes which they
      capture by diving and seizing then with the beak; others feed
      only upon reptiles, insects, etc. About one hundred and fifty
      species are known. They are found in nearly all parts of the
      world, but are particularly abundant in the East Indies.
  
      Note: The belted king-fisher of the United States ({Ceryle
               alcyon}) feeds upon fishes. It is slate-blue above,
               with a white belly and breast, and a broad white ring
               around the neck. A dark band crosses the breast. The
               common European species ({Alcedo ispida}), which is
               much smaller and brighter colored, is also a fisher.
               See {Alcedo}. The wood kingfishers ({Halcyones}), which
               inhabit forests, especially in Africa, feed largely
               upon insects, but also eat reptiles, snails, and small
               Crustacea, as well as fishes. The giant kingfisher of
               Australia feeds largely upon lizards and insects. See
               {Laughing jackass}, under {Laughing}.
