nice capture. Those things are about the most spooky birds I've ever tried to photograph, plus, they dont sit still, in the same place for long. I find them harder than stalking herrons in the wideopen west. If you've not tried that, give it a try, it's not like shooting them in Ding, or Blackwater, or Chechotegue, or those eastern locations where you can almost reach out the rig and grab them. I love the king fisher, and herrons and when I lived back east I could not believe how many birds there were along the coast durring the winter. . .

Where did you photograph him? They look more blue than the ones out here in Montana. . .

Thanks for posting, I like to see them king fishers for sure!



Thank you Tony. I took the shots when I travelled to Cairns, Australia last Christmas. Yeah, I was able to take 4 or 5 shots before it flew away :P This was the first time I saw such a nice beautiful bird in blue.
