| Belted Kingfisher Was surprised to see the Kingfishers in a different part of the river. I spent an hour on each of 3 days hiding behind a tree trying to get photos of them but they are very wary and have very sharp eyes. I was surprised on the 3rd day to find Rough Winged Swallows in the same location as they too were nesting near the Kingfishers further down the river. The Swallows were perched on one of the Kingfishers preferred perches and was visibly upset. This was enough of a distraction to allow me to get quite a few photos. The Swallows chased the Kingfisher off twice. This too was a surprise as they seemed to get along at their old nesting site. |
 |
| Tree I was hiding behind. Kingfishers didn't seem to notice me until I made any kind of movement. I had the camera up against my face so that I only had to move it a few inches to get my eye behind the view finder, but that was enough movement to set them off. |

| Tree Swallow Juvenile Nesting boxes were still piled on the ground around one of the new hydro poles. We missed a day at the pond and the following day were surprised to see the nesting boxes had been mounted on the fence posts and the Tree Swallows had arrived and were using them. |
