Hi All,
Well, I realize I never set a deadline for the big ?what do you call a flock
of kingfishers contest?, but it?s been more than 24 hours since I threw out
the question so I guess that enough time has elapsed for us to take a look
at the entries. I get the digest version of Tweeters, so if you posted
something after noon today and did not also email me directly, then it
likely won?t appear on this list. The contest committee greatly regrets any
such omissions and wants you to know that this was in no way an intentional
sleight against your undoubtedly worthy entry.
All right folks, here are the terms that were submitted in response to the
question, ?What do you call a flock of kingfishers??
1. Flockingfishers
2. A Splash of kingfishers
3. A Fleet of kingfishers
4. A Rattling of kingfishers
5. A Chattering of kingfishers
6. A Sovereignty of kingfishers
7. A Chatter of kingfishers
8. A Court of kingfishers
9. A Realm of kingfishers
10. A Reign of kingfishers
11. A Rattle of kingfishers
12. A Net of kingfishers
13. A Hover of kingfishers
14. A Dive of kingfishers
15. A Kornukopia of kingfishers
16. A Klatch of kingfishers
17. A Syndicate of kingfishers
18. A Perch of Kingfishers
19. A Circle of Alcyon
20. and finally...A Kingfishers don?t flock do they of kingfishers
I?m not sure that the last one was really an entry, but I like it!
Again, sorry if I accidentally excluded any of your fine entries from the
list. As far as the winning entry goes, well they?re all winning entries so
you have all won the right to brag about being a very clever, fun group of
people!
Happy Birding!
