Hungry Kingfisher in Action
Jun 23, 2017 15:49:16 #
I have been watch a family of Kingfisher birds for about three weeks now. This sequence shows the takeoff, flight, landing, surfacing, and then flying away from the fishing site.
Image #6 clearly shows the nictitating eye lid which protects the eyeball.
It has been very interesting observing these fast little birds.

Fantastic sequence. Your patience has paid off!
Thanks for the nice comment Linda. It has been fun putting this sequence together.
This shot was from a different sequence. I score it a 10 for the diving bird because there are no ripples. LOL
