Belted Kingfisher Making Off with His Fish

March 23, 2020  •  Leave a Comment
I knew a belted kingfisher was near based on his call and seeing flashes of blue darting among the trees along the water, but I couldn't get a clear shot of him. Moments later I saw a small splash and as I positioned the camera I saw him darting off. I took several images praying I'd get one in focus. This is the one I got as he was flying off with...
