Belted kingfisher
Belted kingfishers are described as being "large, conspicuous and noisy", an apt label if ever there was one. They look like some demented hairdresser has spiked up their 'do and brushed all the feathers the wrong way. Very cool creature, despite the punk rock look and lousy singing voice.Hard to get them to sit still long enough for a picture, got lucky on this outing.

I drove right by one on a phone/power line weeks ago in Spearfish Canyon, would've been a gorgeous shot but of course it didn't cooperate when I went back and tried for a photo! Exciting to see, very hard to snap.
