Belted Kingfisher...

I chased this guy all over this morning in single digit temperatures…took around 75 shots of him and this is the only one worth posting and I’m still not happy with it ;^( he just would not let me get close and every time I did he was in a bunch of branches where I couldn’t get a clear shot…oh well, I have seen him two days in a row now so maybe I will get another chance ;^)

Still, nice capture. I know the feeling, chase or wait for hours - they are elusive and quick. I have folders full of kingfishers that just quite don't cut it. Congrats.
