Well, we need at least one bird.

Iso-400, 500 mm +1.4 extender, F8, 1600th, handheld from a moving boat, full frame]
Very nice, David. These birds are usually very hard to approach, so getting one even this size is a good accomplishment. The bird is very nicely sharp.
Wow, great job capturing these speedster, David. I can see this brighten up a touch.
And what a bird it is too, David. Excellent presentation for this WC. Glad you were able to catch it in the lighter BG area, it really shines or sticks out there…
Awesome capture of this guy in flight. Looks pretty sharp and in focus - great job!
In the large view it looks like this guy is looking back at you! And I like that you got him across the open sky, but this also works with the oof mountain as well.

David: Really good flight shot. I’m glad that you got the OOF mountain in the BG. I think it makes the image a lot stronger than if the bird was in pure open sky. Nicely done.>=))>
Very nice in-flight capture of this Kingfisher, David! It’s very difficult to catch these guys in flight because they move so fast and you have to have a big lens because they’re so small. Trying to follow them with all that hardware and the high level of magnification is quite a challenge! It’s kind of like skeet shooting using a high power scope on your shotgun! The bird is nice and sharp also plus the position in the frame with the diagonal split background is perfect. Great job!
