This is super cool! A belted Kingfisher. Now that is something we don't see out here.

Beautiful specimen, our species doesn’t have the crest.

Nice image of this bird that is very difficult to approach, Pepper.

Excellent capture, love the cool colors used in post-processing. Matches the bird. Very nice detail!

thanks ben. i actually saw 2 that day. it was pretty windy and overcast so i think that's why i got so lucky. normally i might see 1 kingfisher at the reserve in a whole month of visits.

thanks jim. i didn't know we had them locally until a few years ago. i thought they were a florida bird.

thanks terry. it's pretty fun to look at all of the different types of kingfishers around the world.

thanks douglas. i'd never been this close to one of these guys before. much less see two in one day.

thanks amy. it was pretty overcast that day so i was struggling with the light. i didn't do much with the color except decrease some magenta tones because i liked how well the woods matched the bird.
