Thanks all! Glad you liked it.

Every once in a while, the stars and planets align and give you something. lol! I was driving around, hoping for anything, and saw this kingfisher on the wire. Pulled off onto the shoulder, killed the engine, and opened the passenger side window. I keep my camera set ready to shoot on a stack of pillows in front of the passenger seat and I got it up and shot past my dog to get a burst of shots. A few before and a few after, but this was the one. Lucky, lucky, lucky!

Not the sharpest pic in the allbum, but I was lucky enough to catch both a double wing stretch and some beak action!

I see this female kingfisher and her mate regularly at this location. The wire is in a perfect spot over a KY creek with many minnows and small fish.

I'd call this a WOW shot. If it were mine, I'd paste it all over the place!
