    This was a lovely excursion by boat along the river in the warm morning light. Our boat driver was very good at letting the boat drift from time to time, which really helped with making no noise and no vibrations.

    Green Kingfisher

    A terrible photo of my first and so far only Green Kingfisher (lifer #313), perched on top of the white pole in this pond at Santa Ana NWR. Not five minutes later, I found a pair of Ringed Kingfishers (lifer #314) in the larger pond adjacent to this one (no photo), so seeing the two specialty...

    8:9 Green Kingfisher, male

    It was a hot day, and there was a Roadside Hawk lurking at the far end of the pond, and kingfishers do tend to like to sit on branches overhanging the water, so there are any number of reasons why this pair was sitting deep in the shade of the trees around the pond. We, meanwhile, just stood as...

    9:9 Green Kingfisher, male

    You talkin' to me? I think the poses were some sort of conversation between the two. I know kingfisher pairs are known to "clatter" rather sociably with one another, especially early in the morning. With a fish in her bill, the female wasn't able to participate in that (I guess giving...

    and now she too is doing the tail flash pose. Just posting these last 3 quickly now. Got back from a meeting in Oslo minutes ago. Have some internet bank tasks I need to get done, then I'll see if I can catch up on browsing before I collapse for the night.

    Here come three shots of the male GF going through his series of poses - bow (I don't think I have a shot of the male doing that one, but sort of showed it in the female series yesterday in shot 1:9), stretch, shrug, and flash. Here's the stretch, which I also showed the female doing.

    1:9 Female Green Kingfisher

    This is going to be a 9-image storyboard about a pair of Green Kingfishers. This is the female. She was holding a very stiff, very dead fish (rigor mortis had definitely set in). He was empty-beaked. I'll be showing a number of poses they were taking, over and over - bow, shrug, stretch, repeat...

    2:9 Female Green Kingfisher

    Note the bow she seems to be taking. The series of 9 will show a whole set of postures she and her mate were making, that I'm hoping someone can explain (see shot 1:9 if you haven't already, and wait for shots 4-9:9 over the next two days).

    She's moved two trees over, but still holding that same fish, which still seems as stiff as a stone.

    LD - two more of the green kingfisher

    I really would have been gutted if we hadn't found the card with these shots. Most of the images on the card had already been downloaded to my laptop the night before, but not deleted from the card because I hadn't yet backed them up to an external hard drive. But the views this kingfisher gave...
