Big Fish - Belted Kingfisher

This male Belted Kingfisher was bringing food to its mate that was likely incubating eggs at the time. Although at least three of the young they were raising survived to be fully fledged and leave the nest, one bird was likely preyed upon by a fox. I was able to photograph a juvenile male from this brood at a later date.

I believe the fish in these photos is a Gaspereau or as they're called in these parts, a Kiack.
