There are photographers here in Tokyo who specialize in Kingfisher photography ... even going to building blinds and luring them with small bait fish. Our "common" kingfisher looks like a flying jewel. Nothing common at all!
I love them - have seen very colorful ones in Africa but this belted one is handsome - your know I love neutrals, haha! I wonder if they sing - can't recall hearing them make much sound and, as you say, they are fast moving and really hard to photograph. Great shots JoAnn.

Handsome little dude!
Great shots! Kingfishers are such interesting looking birds! In profile they almost look as if they have Mohawk haircuts.
He's great! Wonderful photos!

Love that crest on his head. Not at all like our kingfisher here in the UK
