As we hiked along the Stillwater River this week, I could hear a Belted Kingfisher nearby. When they get going, they seem to be playing tag. When I see them in this game mode, there is normally two or more of them.
I scanned along the rivers edge and in the trees trying to locate them. Finally, I spotted one. He was on our side of the river in a nearby tree. The problem is that he would not hold still. Suddenly, he flew to the other side of the river. I had a clear shot. I captured this photo just before he took off again.
I love how the Kingfisher looks. They are such a cool bird.
