Belted Kingfisher

Megaceryle alcyon

Description:

Medium sized blue bird with a black and white collar and the distinctive kingfisher mohawk.

Habitat:

Hunting on a freshwater lake.

Notes:

Been after this bird for over a year and this is the best shot I've gotten on him. I will keep hunting for a better one, but he is so flighty . . . . I need a new camera lens for Christmas ;).

Nice one - it is challenging to get a good shot of a kingfisher!
