    … A friend and I headed down to Bubbling Ponds in Page Springs this morning to check it out again and this time we were greeted by a male Belted Kingfisher and I got him from takeoff to landing across the pond on a pipe fixture. Check that landing out … everything is happening at once as he dumps speed presenting the undersides of each wing perpendicular to the line of flight, feet ready to grasp the slippery metal landing pipe and in about .05 of a second he was at rest having executed a perfect landing … the kind you hope your pilot in a commercial airliner will make!

    In the photo below I got the shot as he crossed the pond on his way to the landing he made above … funny how you can go months without seeing a Kingfisher or some other bird and then you get a period of time where you see them frequently and in the case of this guy, he wanted to play and hung out close to us allowing us to get many great shots of him. Got some shots of waterfowl too, Black Phoebes and several other species, but these were clear winners.

    Time to wrap the day and get some rest before beginning the day I am already in … methinks it shall be a very good day … here, breathing and smiling!

    Cheers,

    Ted

    Now the great green earth has turned to gold; and
    the fruit is gathered, and the grain is garnered.
    So may we in the autumn of life, mellowed by
    experience, grow rich in beauty and service, as the green
    of the earth and the grain of the field.

    O Captain, My Captain, My Trump

    By Sanford Bach

    When Donald J. Trump descended that golden escalator, America witnessed not just a man — but destiny in a red tie. The Founding Fathers stirred in their marble graves, whispering, “Finally… our sequel has arrived.”
