This is one of those birds that I have wanted to photograph for years with no luck. I have seen them occasionally close the my house but always to far away to get a photo, my son and I tried repeatedly to photograph one along the stream in Benezette one weekend but the moment we would lift the cameras it would fly. Last month I had a few chances in Florida, often they were to far away to get a good sharp image, this one provided me with my best photos to date. Although not as good as I hoped it is a start. It is difficult to tell but the belly is brown on this Belted Kingfisher making it a female.It is Thursday already so please stop by Shane's blog for a new post.

Good photos Brad, I enjoy your bird posts.
Congrats on the Kingfisher! Those birds are tough! Fascinating though, so it keeps our interest as the chase is always on! Great job on your first belted kingfisher!
Great shot Brad, these colorful little guys always laugh at me as they fly away well out of camera range. I keep trying for someday one will stay put!
Well done!
A beautiful portrait. I have never gotten a good photo of this species.
Great capture of this elusive bird!
