Belted Kingfisher
Caught up with this little lady the other day and she was willing to hold still for a bit. I have spent several hours trying to catch a decent shot of one in this area and not been sucessful. would have liked to be a bit closer and had better perch but was happy to get this will keep working to see if I can get better. Not sure any more who said to "take the shot you got then try to improve it" but that is how I try to work. I could not get closer water between us to cold and deep.

That is very true of any subject, Kendall...take the shot and try to improve it. Keep at it, you will succeed. Thanks for sharing this image and the advice.

Nice. Sounds like a fun but tough shot to get.
