Every time I stop at Rock Harbor I hear the cackling call of the Belted Kingfisher but I hadn’t seen him in a while. And then, just the other day, there he was perched on the post searching for lunch in the water below. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
I loved watching him search the water and then dive in and get that delicious meal. You can see how focused he is in the 2nd photograph. Have you seen the two Belted Kingfishers at Rock Harbor?
The Kingfisher by Mary Oliver
The kingfisher rises out of the black wave
like a blue flower, in his beak
he carries a silver leaf…
