🐦Common Kingfisher
普通翠鸟(學名:Alcedo atthis,台湾称翠鳥,英語:Common kingfisher、Eurasian kingfisher、River kingfisher),又稱鴗、魚狗、魚獅、魚虎、翡翠鳥、釣魚翁,是佛法僧目翠鳥科翠鳥屬下的其中一種鳥類。這個物種由瑞典博物學家卡爾·林奈於1758年命名,分佈於歐亞非三塊大陸上的水域邊,主要以魚類為食。目前普通翠鳥共有7個亞種,是世界上最小,也是最為人所知的翠鳥科成員之一。 普通翠鳥是在大多數歐洲地區唯一可見的翠鳥科物種,在溫暖的地區為留鳥,而在高緯度地區的冬季時牠們則會向南遷徙。其外觀上是明顯的藍綠色及橘色,以及背上一條寶石藍色的條紋。雌雄之間可由下半鳥喙的顏色區分:雄鳥跟上半喙一樣為黑色,而雌鳥則帶有紅色。這種鳥類易與其他數種翠鳥混淆,但通常可從其橫貫眼睛及耳羽之間的橘色條紋區分。牠們相當適應於潛水,並有著特化的視覺構造而能看清水面下的獵物,甚至能夠穿越薄冰層去捕捉獵物。 這種鳥類通常採一夫一妻制,在沿岸的河床邊掘洞築巢繁殖後代,每次約產5—7枚蛋,19—21天後孵化,並在24—27天後離巢。在文化層面上,普通翠鳥在東西方文化中都有出現在相關的神話及藝術創作內,並有一定程度的正面意涵存在。但這個物種的數量因對水質跟沿岸環境需求甚高,且同時對嚴冬的耐受性相當低的因素,其族群正在逐步减少。不過目前其數量仍然眾多且分佈廣泛,在《國際自然保護聯盟瀕危物種紅色名錄》中被評為無危物種。
