This darn bird is here zooming around the lake all the time – usually early morning or late afternoon/evening. Incredibly noisy, incredibly fast…I get about one chance per year to get a good photo.

Here is the 2011 paparazzi catch:

Female Belted Kingfisher

TGIF and stay cool this weekend!

Lots of visitors to the lake yesterday morning – all stopping by for breakfast.

Having not been able to get a decent picture of the Kingfisher for several years, she has apparently decided to just deal with the papparazi and let her photo be taken!

A little later I noticed the lake’s Heron had also stopped by for a little early morning fishing. This is probably helped by the fact that the water level in the lake is so low right now. Fish will have to practice stealth mode in the rocks if they are to survive to swim another day.

That “eagle eye” doesn’t miss much!

“Fish to the left of me, fish to the right of me…so little time….”

Frame as you like or just make one card. Ships in 2 to 3 days with a 30-day money-back guarantee…

She doesn’t sit still for long and makes an incredible amount of noise for her size. She also likes to fly right over my shoulder when I am on the lake in the boat – probably trying to see if she can make me fall in!

She’s here to hunt for her “Brunch” since it’s a little too late for breakfast.
