The Elusive Kingfisher

I find the Kingfisher to be a most shy bird. They always seem to be so wary of humans and see you before you ever see them. Fortunately, I saw this female Kingfisher at Delta Pond where it seemed to have a favorite place. It would move from one tree to another, the same two trees back and forth. I grabbed a shot of it when it landed in one of them. I am always happy to get a photo of one.
