The belted Kingfisher is notoriously difficult to get close to.  I used a blind 
for this photo, and made liberal use of Photoshop's cropping tools.

Now that I know where the bird's favorite perches are I can set up the blind 
closer to teh perch, and with a better background.  For now, this is what I've 
got:

technical stuff:  R8/DMR @ISO 400
280mm f/4 APO with 1.4x APO-Extender-R
tripod & blind

All comments welcome.
