    1. It was a little stunned after hitting a house window. We kept an eye on it, putting it in a safe place away from the dog, and yes it was able to fly.

    1. Yes, they are so very beautiful the Azure Kingfisher. I haven't seen one around here for some time, so it really nice to know that there is some still here.

  11. I love the imagery of this. Caring for another being is central to who our farmers are. Plus, it's absolutely gorgeous coloring on the bird.

  13. Glad it was able to fly away. Our dogs would have wanted to play/eat it.

    PS: Very nice to be reading your blog. I'll be back next weekend to view your images. Until then, have an oogie boogie week.
