Nature calendars are a great Christmas gift idea. Here is our collection of nature calendars made from our photographs. We have calendars of birds, butterflies, deer, ducks, flowers, hummingbirds and rabbits. Our Zazzle store, Purplebearspics has many other products created from our photographs that would also make great Christmas gifts.
After many attempts, we finally have a half decent Belted Kingfisher photo. This Kingfisher was perched on an old concrete pier overlooking a marshy area of the wildlife refuge we visit often.
Belted Kingfishers, from what we have noticed, are one of the few birds where the female is more colorful than the male. We couldn’t get a good look at the front of this one to see if it was a male or female. Another thing we’ve noticed about these birds is that, for such a small bird, they have a pretty big wingspan. That kind of surprises you when they take off.
