Good shots, Kenny. My resident kingfishers did not show up this year; I'm envious. Did you use a blind?

Great set Kenny. It looks like you have a nice spot for these elusive little guys. I've never seen that much rufous colouring in the breastband before is it a juvenile?. #4 is my pick of the bunch.
