I haven’t birded Titlow Park for quite awhile, but, with the constant rain we were looking for a place nearby where we could get in a short walk with Leslie’s friend. As it turned out, perhaps we should visit there more often.
My favorite sequence of the day was a series of shots of this Belted Kingfisher sitting on a branch overlooking the pond,
diving (way too fast to get a shot) and landing on a fallen tree on the opposite side of the pond to eat his catch,
before returning to the original branch to complain about how we were encroaching on his fishing spot.
