King fisher caught a fish

It was December 7, winter season.  I went to East Hanover wetland pond and tried to shot some winter birds like hooded merganser etc. When I parked my car I  heard the rattle sound coming from a little tree, I did not believe my ears. Is the Kingfisher there? After 5 or 10 minutes, the bird suddenly toke off and disappeared from my photo field. When I found it again, it already caught a fish and stayed on a branch.  After the bird did several swirling and hit fish against the branch until the fish unmovable, it started to enjoy its fresh catch.
