Week #4 - Female Kingfisher
by Laura Milholland

Las Gallinas Wildlife Ponds, San Rafael, CA

Yay! I finally got a shot of the recently arrived Belted Kingfisher at our ponds.
She is extremely shy and skittish, but patience and a bit of tracking paid off.
And I was especially happy when she swooped down from the dock and grabbed this crayfish
then returned to her same perch.

My arch nemesis! They hate to stand still. You got a great shot of him with lunch. Nicely done.

Knowing how fast Kingfishers can be, congratulations on getting the capture.
