Summer is heating up so I went to the harbor early for my morning walk. It was breezy and sunny and a lovely walk along the water.
Gulls were hunting breakfast and there might even have been a couple of terns fly by but the highlight of my morning walk was a really closeup look at a belted kingfisher flying along the rocks the length of the shore. I'm using the Cornell ornithology photo below since I have never gotten a good shot of a kingfisher on the wing.
The female is the one with the rust colored belt. The one I saw this morning was unbelted so likely male.
A lovely start to my day. I hope your day is as good.
