My first Kingfisher
Sep 6, 2014 10:21:05 #
I saw angler's first kingfisher today, great picture, reminded me of my first Kingfisher a couple weeks ago. It won't compete with angler's, but it's mine. Them buggers are fast. I see him flying across the water and land in a tree, I couldn't see him in the tree SO, I took a bunch of pictures of the tree, did I get lucky or what.
I cropped this to max

Just knowing he wouldn't stay there very long, I was ready, got a quick burst as he took off. I cropped this some also.

I see him quite often, way off in the distance, this is the closest he's come so far. If I was to set up a blind I could probably get some really good shots, but my boat won't fit in that water, I'd have to get my feet wet. :D Excellent captures Frank and you right they are fast.
Thanks for looking.

Nice shots , I know what you mean, I have had no luck shooting several in my area, can't get close enough even with a quite long lens. Keep trying

Very nice Frank W. You are right, they are fast. Good shots of a male

Great job on the flight shot! They are frustrating to shoot, but oh-so-cute :)

frustrating - That's the word I was looking for - frustrating - and you probably know all about that - frustrating - Always just a bit out of range - frustrating. :D

Congrats. Little bird is cute and I think both pictures are neat.
The tree picture I was just shooting blind, sometimes luck does count.
