Several Belted Kingfishers have been wintering in the Farmington area and as of late they’ve been slightly more cooperative than is typical of the species.
Getting a sharp image of any passerine in flight is not an easy task, especially when they’re coming toward you. I’m convinced I’d have missed this shot if I’d still been shooting with my Canon 7D.
(I’ve also included a whimsical shot of the same species for “dessert”).
