A crow, a large black bird is chasing a belted kingfisher just above the water. I am not sure why they were chasing, but I think these were some young adult crows practicing territory defense. The kingfisher has been fishing here for years, so she wasn't having any of it. The crows were just a nuisance while he was fishing.
Another shot of the crow chasing the kingfisher, a blue and white bird that is a master fisher.
The kingfisher is showing a nice wingspread as two crows lag behind chasing it.
The kingfisher dives for a fish sending a large splash of water. The crow flies through the splash and looks shocked as it pulls up with wings and tail spread. Young crows got a lesson in Belted Kingfisher that day.
They mostly were yards behind #BEKI, but 4 or 5 #crows were harassing Mr. BEKI and it was a very high speed chase. BEKI mostly stuck to trying to fish and it was great karma when BEKI slowed and dove for fish and the crow got to experience "which way did it go?" as it flew through the splash.
