Kingfisher at Zuanich Point Park

 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.



The gray blur along the horizon is a line of clouds coming in.

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.
