Belted Kingfisher, February 5, 2020

Wild Bird Wednesday and My Corner of the World

Click on the photo to see it at its best.

Tupelo, Mississippi, USA, January 26, 2020
I am surprised that this photo of a male Belted Kingfisher, Megaceryle alcyon, came out as well as it did. The day was very cloudy with sporadic rain.

Have a wonderful day!

    Well done with the Belted Kingfisher. Every year a few more stay here for the winter. As long as open water remains they seem not to be bothered by cold temperature.

    One of the coolest birds ever!!! Hard to photograph---at least for me--they see me and fly away
