I was at the strip pits today...first thing I saw was the turtle you see here. He was too far away for a good pic. After I had taken this pic, I noticed the kingfisher on that old dead tree.
I eased on down the road, keeping an eye on the strip pit and there was this other kingfisher on the end near the road. I didn't dare try to get out of the Rav but did get a couple shots without him taking flight. They are usually gone before I ever get close to them.
They were the most exciting thing to be seen, though I did hear several pheasants.

Still waiting on the toot to get here...they were caught in stopped traffic for a bit. And they have to stop by a friend's house before they get here. I am anxiously awaiting their arrival. I wonder what all Lorelei will have to tell us...
