Belted Kingfisher (Male)

Lake Frederick, Virginia

My wife & I walked our dog along the primitive trail on the west arm of Lake Frederick. Spotted this male a good distance off perched on a dead limb overlooking the water.
When I see a kingfisher perched, I've become weary about trying to get close - they always fly! This was as close as he allowed.

'Tis a handsome kingfisher with an odd hair-do.
