This is the doldrum time for photography in Rapid City at the local lake. The lake is densely populated with Canada geese and migratory ducks. I’m over saturated with geese and duck photos and the local Bald Eagles just sit and watch for hours at a time. So I turn to photographing Kingfishers. They are not easy targets but give a sense of satisfaction when photographed successfully. Here’s one I took recently…

Good job. I frequently chase those guys. They are very hard to capture.
