Earlier today I posted a photo of a juvenile Belted Kingfisher. This photo of a female Kingfisher was taken on the same day and she is on the same branch as the juvenile so I assume that she is the mother. There were 4 Kingfishers fishing in the river.

The Cape Starlings were basically the crows of #SouthAfrica ... but, like the Magpies of #Alberta, to a visitor they are stunning and incredible birds. I'm sure many South Africans are annoyed by these birds, but for me, I was constantly mesmerized by the blue and purple sheen of their feathers.

Seagrass Protections Planning

🌱 State officials are weighing new rules to protect underwater seagrass, a critical habitat for North Carolina’s fishing industry.
🐟 Recent research shows significant declines driven largely by nutrient pollution, threatening breeding grounds for species like blue crab and flounder.
💰 Protecting these ecosystems is environmental and economic, linking habitat health with coastal livelihoods.

🗣️ Public input is open as planning moves forward. The next Marine Fisheries Commission’s Habitat and Water Quality Advisory Committee meeting is THU Jun 25, 6PM in Morehead City, on WebEx, and via phone!

A juvenile Belted kingfisher (Megaceryle alcyon) recently photographed. They are so curious at that young age that they stop to observe humans and sometimes get a bit closer.
Kingfishers are notoriously difficult to photograph so I was delighted by this long encounter.
