I was fortunate to observe this female Belted Kingfiser at the pond in Nature Preserve yesterday...and VERY fortunate to get her picture. I know from last Spring and Summer found them very skittish around human presence. They certainly have striking colors and interesting body design. They are fun to watch them fishing as they eat fish and amphibians. The frost has left the ground and Ice has left the pond and the bush is coming alive with returning birds and hibernating critters coming out...it makes it quite exhillirating to walk through the bush!!

If you can't find the words, you may as well shoot it...
I've never seen one of these "in person" and so of course never so close up. I love the look and I'm so glad you are able to "sneak" up on birds so well, Mr. P!

We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"
Great capture. Wiry looking little bugger.

Oh I am so jealous Gerry, Kingfishers are my favourite birds and I have never been able to capture one on film, so obviously have to fave this one. Great capture.

No trees were killed in the sending of this message. However, a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced.
COME ON YOU GREENS, UP THE ARGYLE.....
Oh very well done Gerry. :o)
I have a special thing for the Kingfisher, & this punky lookin fella is no exception.

A mistreated dog should try to leave a deposit on their masters best carpet, after all it's important to establish who's boss ... My gallery is here.

I'd rather be here, than where I'm at
This is Magical Gerry, what great focus on this neat looking bird, I only see them in the Zoo here. And I like the frame. Faved, thank you.

That is a super capture of this bird. I don't believe I am familiar with it at all, so what a nice surprise. A keeper.
