Belted Kingfisher, Megaceryle alcyon.

This is a distant shot and extreme crop. I'll get a better shot eventually.

They always look so alert. I guess they probably need to be.

Every once in a while I see a Kingfisher here on the lake - they are very skittish!

Very nice. I see these from time to time but I've never been able to get a photograph. They are fast.

Good enough shot for an ID so it counts.

Nice looking bird and at least he is clearly visible.

I love seeing these little guys!

I follow the thread just to see all the birds you post and their names. It's like this time and last you were providing me with my very own bird guide.

I just moved up near Craig, and was surprised to find Sandhill Cranes all over the area, and I also saw large flocks of them flying over the desert in Fruita, which was pretty cool.

Anyway, just wanted to say I am certainly appreciative of your shots and ID efforts :) One day I'll hopefully make it out to a birding hike with you.
