I am primarily interested in continuing to research and write articles on Wikipedia concerning the social and natural history of Huron County, North Middlesex and northern Lambton County, in Ontario Canada. I am particularly interested in the founding and development of the original small communities in these areas, especially those that have nearly disappeared or perhaps have already become actual ghost towns. I am also keen on helping to edit articles regarding North American native cultures of the eastern Great Lakes region and on religion as a topic in general, in particular those belief systems that are often labelled as being "controversial".

Some useful advice: WP:MASTODONS

Why is it that I have a sneaking suspicion that this particular vandal has no idea whatsoever how reverting vandalism actually works?[1]

The Pacific kingfisher (Todiramphus sacer) is a medium-sized bird in the kingfisher family, Alcedinidae. It belongs to the subfamily Halcyoninae, the tree kingfishers, and is found in the South Pacific islands, including American Samoa, Fiji, Tonga, Solomon Islands, and Vanuatu. The Pacific kingfisher was formally described in 1788 by the German naturalist Johann Friedrich Gmelin and was initially placed in the genus Alcedo, but since 1827 it has been placed in the genus Todiramphus. Formerly considered to be a subspecies of the collared kingfisher (T. chloris), a molecular phylogenetic study published in 2015 found that T. chloris was paraphyletic. The Pacific kingfisher perches almost motionless for long periods waiting for prey and its diet includes insects, worms, snails, shrimps, frogs, lizards, small fish and sometimes other small birds and eggs. This Pacific kingfisher was photographed in the Colo-i-Suva Forest Reserve, Fiji, perching with prey in its beak.Photograph credit: JJ Harrison
