The purpose of this research is to know, the population of kingfisher (Halcyonidae) and population ratio at two research location. Method used in this research are the IPA method (Indicates Pountuele d'Abudance-Abudance Index On the Point) and the distributing model. This observation was done by staying at the point count and making a note for every founded birds. For each community has three point count with each 18 days observation. To calculate population ratio of the kingfisher  (Halcyonidae) birds at two research locations ware used the formula of Yuniar (2007), that is P= X +/- Se.t.
