Amazon Kingfisher, the largest green-backed kingfisher in the Americas showed up in the United States at Zacate Creek in downtown Laredo. I saw and photographed all four US Kingfishers and was watching three species in one view several times during the day. It was very windy which may have kept the kingfishers in the confines of the steep sloped creek more often than the nearby Rio Grande and it's marshy areas.
