I have tried for more than 10 years to get a decent shot of a Belted Kingfisher. This one isn't great - but it is the best I've ever gotten and I must say I am thrilled to have captured it. This was taken during our visit to Claytor Lake State Park for our 2019 Christmas Celebration.

Kingfisher in Flight

I heard him before I saw him - 
and what a smile it brought to my face.

Was it possible that I might get a glimpse of that wonderful creature - the Belted Kingfisher?

I did get a faraway glimpse as he flew over the pond.

Just a blur - but a wonderful moment to capture.
