What a Beak!

I think most of us bird photographers try very hard to catch the belted kingfisher in flight and fishing … it is quite a challenge as they are fast and erratic. However, this early morning against the gray moody sky, I spotted this kingfisher quietly perched. What I like about the photo is how well it shows us the tremendous beak this small bird has to facilitate its fishing. There is almost more beak than head.
