Name That Bird

Noticed this very odd visitor as I was driving by the lake today...anyone know what this is???
My sister Mannie and I are sitting together at my mother's rehab hospital, and I walked over and showed her this. Immediately and correctly: "Belted Kingfisher."

PS Charlie would say Don King and I would say the Donald.

@cejaanderson Many thanks to you and Mannie! I've never seen one in my neighborhood. It took many tries to get a decent shot, as the wind has been fierce today. (And if he hangs around, I think I'll name him Donald - thanks for the suggestion!)

Great front shot of this funny bird too. They're fun to watch fish. They'll hover above the water and then dive in. Enjoy.

@mbemis Thanks so much for the info - I hope to spot him again. Our weather is going to be unusually warm for a few more days, so I plan on taking some walks by the lake.

I didn't have a clue so had to read your other 365 comments. Beautiful bird and a super capture. FAV Tweet.

No clue what he is, but I love the attitude he possesses! Maybe it's his Mohawk.
