Day 3- Male Belted Kingfisher

This bird is called a Belted Kingfisher. It is a male. Females have a brown belt where a male has entirely white. I don't normally see them around my house but today God blessed me with finding this one and being able to take a picture of it perched on a branch. He was just about to dive head first into the water for some food. They are commonly seen in Southern CA during the winter otherwise they are in Northern CA. Enjoy!
