Some Recent Urban Pond Birds
In the last three days I’ve visited three urban ponds in the Salt Lake Valley while looking for birds. (6 photos of 6 species)

Belted Kingfisher Diving Past A Tangle Of Branches
Belted Kingfisher Hovering And Then Beginning To Dive On A Fish
Yesterday morning a change in shooting strategy allowed me to get some kingfisher photos that have eluded me for years. (5 photos)
Belted Kingfisher Diving Very Close To Danger
When I’m photographing this male kingfisher I’m often holding my breath. (3 photos)
A New Kingfisher Challenge For Me
Kingfishers in flight as they’re about to land on their next fishing perch. Kingfisher landing shots are tough to get. (7 photos)
Diving Belted Kingfisher Series (plus 1)
Whether the bird is perched or in flight, it’s unusual for me to like a kingfisher photo more for its aesthetics than for its action and/or behavior. But that’s the case with this first image. (4 photos)
Belted Kingfisher Diving On A Fish
Same kingfisher as in yesterday’s post but this time he’s diving on a fish instead of flying off. (4 photos)
Belted Kingfisher Seven Image Flight Series
Male Belted Kingfisher Taking Off
Yesterday’s Kingfisher
Diving Male Kingfisher With A Colorful Background
Female Belted Kingfisher – Cooperating And Then Not
This Is What An Unlucky Morning Photographing Kingfishers Looks Like
The potential was there but except for some interesting behavior near the end I might as well have stayed home.
Yellow Warbler Ascending
A short trip for a young warbler. A meaningless journey to us perhaps but apparently it was significant for the bird.
Male Belted Kingfisher Reacting To A Swallow Attack
His reactions seemed a little overdramatic if you ask me. After all, kingfishers are 9 times larger (heavier) than Cliff Swallows.
