Each species of bird has it's own personality. Kingfishers always strike me as happy birds and always seem to be busy. There is always something to do and somewhere to go. That is why I like this image which includes the environment the kingfisher lives in. It reinforces it's bright personality, but also hints at how small a bird they are in a big world. They nest in burrows that they excavate in vertical banks up to ten feet long. I'm not sure where they find suitable nesting sites on the Patuxent, but I'll always see three or four over the course of a summer.
