After Breakfast, paddled out to Ozone Beach...sighted Mallards at Cottonwood Bend...thought to follow, but thought too to have tripod, so returned to the Cabin...paddled out to Creek's End...Mallards about, and Kingfisher!...faraway clips and pic...in the bit with the Mallards flying, Kingfisher is perched in the Sapling Cottonwood...at the time, I couldn't sight Kingfisher, and only glimpsed Kingfisher's movement on reviewing the clip...followed Mallards and Kingfisher to Chapel Bridge....another clip there...and followed Kingfisher back to Creek's End...and almost followed Kingfisher back to Chapel Bridge!...but left off...did get to see Kingfisher dive two times....very cool...Ouzel, Pileated, and Flicker about too...sunny blublue cold...Merry Xmas!!!....
Another name for Kingfisher is Halycon, and Greek Legend has a tale, which can be read here at wiki:
