Superb image Allen, I see what 1/2000sec and a fast eye gets you! Inspirational, something to try and emulate! :1st_place_medal:

Nice BIF Allen. I was trying hard yesterday at Bolsa Chica Preserve to get a belted kingfisher to cooperate with me to no avail. You have amazing detail, and clarity in this with a fast moving bird. Indeed it is nice to see what a fast hand, fast focus, and fast shutter speed will give you.

Excellent detail and nice to get him close to the water so you have a reflection.
