BELTED KINGFISHERS ALONG THE SALT LAKE/JORDAN RIVER CORRIDOR
At this oxbow located at about 5000 South/Murray/Jordan River Parkway, a Belted Kingfisher
can be observed with great regularity.
Below, notice on the left, a female Belted Kingfisher; and a male on the right.
Here we see a flying sequence of a Kingfisher, combined onto a single background. These images were created by shooting the same bird at 8 frames per second.
This bird is only stationary for a few moments before diving for a fish.
Trying to photograph the 'power dive' is a difficult feat... some blurring is the result.
This bird has captured a tiny fish, although it is difficult to see due to motion blur.
Here is a series of images showing a male Belted Kingfisher in flight, as he hovers over the pond at Winchester Park, seeking small fish to consume.
