BBSP - juvenile YCNH & belted Kingfisher

[wwong]

8/29 morning. Quite. I got very close to the JYCNH along the 40-arce trail. The belted Kingfisher was on the other side of the lake where the Anhingas normally are (turn at tower). A park ranger led group walked by and the ranger said she has not seen Kingfisher in BBSP (20yrs or somthing...) The bird checklist said it is "uncommon" for summer/fall/winter, and "rare" in spring. Got lucky!

Nice capture of the Kingfisher Wilfred...I've seen them over on Hale Lake but never able to get a shot of them...

I don't know how rare a Belted Kingfisher is in that area, but I know how hard it is to get a good shot of one. Great capture.

I was there on Sunday morning too so we probably passed each other and didn't know it. The herons did seem to be more patient than usual. Here are mine
