Belted Kingfisher

Another spin around the lakes and still not much out there. But right at the end of my loop I spotted a Belted Kingfisher on the level pole right near where there Cooper's Hawk was wading the other day.



Though I couldn't get a clear front view, I think this is a male. I tried to swing around for a closer shot but another car drove in and the combination of two vehicles spooked him and he flew off. I don't see Kingfishers in this lake often so it was at least a nice surprise.
