Description
Photograph of a mother and fledgling belted kingfisher sitting on a branch in a pond with a background of trees. The baby kingfisher is on the left...she's a female, evident from the two bands across her chest. I had quietly snuck up on the young kingfisher while it was sitting alone on the branch, and peeked through some bushes to get some shots of her. Adult kingfishers are very skittish and seem to hear every little sound so I doubt I would've succeeded in sneaking up on the mother bird. However, she allowed me several shots before flying off, chattering away like they do when they're disturbed.
