Megaceryle torquata

This Ringed Kingfisher was also from our time along the Rio Grande last week down in south Texas. It is definitely exciting to hear that rattle call coming toward you from up river. This beauty didn’t even slow down as it flew past us but thankfully the light was nice and we were able to pull off a few shots at fairly close range.
