I went back today to try to get closer to this noisy, skittish little guy. He kept flying back and forth over the pond. Finally, he and I wound up on the same side. This was as close as I could get.

Great shot and series of the female Belted Kingfisher!
She's a beauty!
(the males don't have the rusty color on their chest.)

About backwardguy
backwardguy My wife of 39 years and I live in Hermiston OR. on a 5 acre "farmette". I have been an elementary school teacher for the last 26 years. I enjoy the outdoors and animals and I'm an avid (not a good) golfer. My wife and I take our motorcycles on long trips and our destinations are almost always the beautiful National parks in Oregon, California, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, and Washington, and last summer we added Utah to the list. We've visited them many times. Photography has long been an interest of mine and many of my photos are taken on our little farmette, and on our motorcycle trips.
