I don't which kind of kingfisher, but I've been lucky to have witnessed most kinds.
So I adore this haiku:
kingfisher
a rattle as the river
turns south
—JEAN LEBLANC
The River Kingfisher which I'm most familiar with, is silent and rapid, and just like a speeding bullet of azure blurring into river and sky blue at the same time somehow.
I love the rattle of the river, that's brilliant as you have it, but also these variations. Taking artistic license:
kingfisher: a rattle as the river
kingfisher: a rattle as the river turns
But even more stunning as:
a rattle as the river
turns south
There is something mystical and magical about these halcyon creatures embodying Summer.

Awesome haiku.

That "rattle" is what lifts this from the ordinary…
