While observing the great blue heron, I heard a kingfisher before I saw it perched on a metal pole across the river. It is difficult to get a decent shot of a small bird when it is quite a distance away. They are very skittish birds and won’t let anyone get too close. This is a heavily cropped photo.

Well done for capturing such a beautiful bird.
Awesome! Looks like it was a good hair day. 🙂
