I got a close view of...

a Belted Kingfisher two nights ago! I heard a strange sound that I've been hearing at night for years and wasn't able to solve the mystery until two nights ago. I walked out of my house when I heard a noisy commotion outside. After I went outside, I looked into the sky and saw a Belted King Fisher fly right over my head. It was awesome and beautiful. Those birds are usually fast and very elusive but I saw him up close and personal so it was totally awesome! Happy birding everybody!
