The Kingfisher

Last week I told you that I had been trying to catch a photo of a Belted kingfisher  that I had seen on the river road when, instead, I was treated to views of a Great blue heron. (Click Here.) Well, yesterday it was the kingfisher's turn to wow me.
This one very kindly perched upon a wire while I several photos.
I think that he (she?) looks like a cool "cat" from the fifties.
He has worked all morning with plenty of grease to get his hair to look just right.
It even turned around so that I could catch his good side.
Look well, because this can't last.
Then, yes, he has had enough.  
No more photos for me.
I smile and quietly murmur, "Good-Day, and thank you for your time."
