The Green Fisher (also known as the Green Kingfisher, *Chloroceryle americana*) is a small kingfisher found in Central and South America. It is distinguished by its green upperparts and white underparts with a greenish breast band in males, while females typically have a greenish breast band and streaked underparts. They inhabit wooded streams, rivers, and ponds, where they hunt small fish and aquatic insects by diving from perches. Their compact size and vibrant plumage make them a striking sight along water bodies in their range.
