Nature Walks – The Belted Kingfisher Tease

Belted Kingfishers aren’t birds I see everyday, though I do see them every so often. They like to be by the water, since they like to fish for their food. They spear them with their long beaks, hence the name kingfisher.

There was one up in the trees looking down on me. He was teasing me. He knew I saw him. He would let me just about capture him with my camera before he would fly away. He did this a few times before allowing me to get a couple of shots. But that was it. No more. Then he was off again, gone for the day.

I am happy to see all my birds and wildlife. Even if they only allow me a couple of shots, it is better than nothing. I’ll take my couple of shots whenever I can get them. 🙂
