Not the greatest of shots, but if you've been chasing one of these fellows around like myself you might understand. Very crafty bird and extremely hard to approach. Heck I get within rock throwing distance of Eagles, but never as close to this young lady. You'll have to wait for a BIF as I'm working on that as well. Had to do the belly crawl to even get this capture. As you can see the female was in the bush......

Excellent! I understand the frustration with the kingfisher. I love the bird but have a few special names for them I won't mention here. :)

I saw a few of those guys on powerlines when driving through Florida City on the way to Key Largo, it must be their season?
