Belted Kingfisher
Oct 16, 2022 21:01:57 #
Our daughter lives in Denver, about 2 blocks from City Park. I enjoyed my daily walk to visit the rookery there, and I saw this female belted kingfisher every day. I've never been able to get a decent photo of this cool bird, but I was pretty happy with this one. I love all of the water droplets, as she is coming out of the water with her catch.

These guys are so tricky! I spent a whole morning trying for a good picture. They like to stay just out of reach.

I agree, Sally! They're fast and hard to capture in flight!
