Belted Kingfishers

Belted Kingfisher

love these noisy big birds so much more impressive than our wimpy little, over photographed species

a last few wet birds from Quadra

Belted Kingfisher, Glaucous-winged Gulls (are they not beautiful), typical shoreline gathering of Harlequins and gulls, and some brooding clouds and a juv Red-necked Grebe

Belted Kingfishers

Frustratingly easier to photograph on man made wires and perches than on natural branches where they were often well hidden
