Ringed Kingfisher along Río Pesquería in Pesquería, Nuevo León, Mexico. For some reason I like this scene, with the church steeple in the background.

Oh, he is so handsome. What a beautiful scene as well. I have seen him in my parts but snaring a picture is so difficult. Congratulations on your prize picture.

Many thanks for showing us this terrific picture.
