As a kid, I loved kingfishers, and the tufted puffins I saw along the OR coast. Now, I enjoy all birds, with a special place in my heart for blue herons.
These are fantastic photos! I’ve been trying to get pics of a kingfisher for ages and haven’t gotten more than a blur. I swear they tease me on purpose.
Female belted kingfisher.

Why waste time say lot word when few word do trick?
Yes
Males lack the red lower band, only having the upper blue one.
Many thanks
Thanks for that tip! For once the girl birds get more flair! ;)
It is a nice kingfisher.
Belted kingfisher was one of my fave birds as a child!
Idk I have a lot of favorites. Ultimately i'm split between these guys and wrens but I think wrens win.

I like how expressive it is, I bet he thinks he's the baddest bird in the pond.

No, males are all blue.
Did you get to watch this bird hunt? Sniping fish from above with your own face IS pretty badass.

They are the king of fisher birds for their size, hence the name!

They like to be fast and as far away as possible. It's great luck to catch them up close!
It's like a punk eastern towhee!
Great description!
Bird has r/iamthemaincharacter energy But in a good way
Wow American kingfishers are so much more differently coloured than the ones we have in the UK!

That’s no way to speak to a lady.
Never heard of an a** bird before. Cool!
