This painting was inspired by my common kingfisher friend from the North Carolina Zoo Aviary, where I worked as a bird keeper for many years.

Perhaps that had something to do with his namesake. You can read more about Stephen Kingfisher and the other aviary birds at the NC Zoo over on A Zookeeper’s Memoir. Read for Free. Click Here
