Nice! - they're a difficult bird to capture on camera.
Thank you for a wonderful week of bird photos, Benjamin. You must be getting more stealthful at sneaking up on these guys.
I learned recently the Kingfisher is in the same family as the Kookaburra. The resemblance is certainly there, including it's 'loud high rattle' call you mentioned in a photo from last year.
BTW, in the news yesterday is a story about dozens of migrating Snowy Owls camping on an island near Burnaby.
Another pretty bird!
Lovely capture... I haven't seen one in a long time...
Really enjoyed your bird pictures this week. The Harlequins are spectacular ducks, in fact they were all great captures, especially the Northern Flicker. Thanks for posting them.
