Wonderful! I am in awe. They are fast and shy. The best I ever got was a blue blur. These are really great.

Thank you, Cwilson341! I was surprised that she flew near enough, and that I was fast enough, to get the shots. She is a cutie! :)

Well, I'd say you have been very successful this time. Those are some beautiful images. The downloads are a MUST.

I was trying to take a photo of a heron, then I heard this little female kingfisher chattering above me. They're fast little birds, I've tried to get a photo of one for the last couple of years without much success.

They are small, fast and camera shy. Nice set and better than any I have.
