Found this gal out behind the house. She was annoyed by my presence and would fly in circles around me all the while telling me to get lost!

I absolutely love this series! Oooh, I wish there were some kingfishers here that would fly circles around me! I've spotted one in the park about two months ago and learned that he resides there, breeds there even and I've been on the lookout for him every since,but no luck so far. I would be more than happy to come home with images like this. And that #2 is simply amazing. What a shot.
Great work, Jason.

Photography is my only pathological addiction; hopefully it won't drive me to something worse. :rolleyes: :oops:

I love Kingfishers. Their call is electric. I love the images. I hope to get one of them hitting the water, they hit hard!

Thanks all! The only thing that really bugs me is the trash in some of the pics. It is so disappointing people cannot do something as simple as putting trash in a proper receptacle.
