I'm really fond of this little bird. She hangs around the pond and lake behind my house.

Kingfishers are so quick and skittish so you have done really well to capture these shots Jason, well done :)

Nice job Jason. With these birds, if you are close enough to id him on a screen you've done really well. You did real good.

She is temperamental for sure. Usually I have to move very slowly. The last one she was buzzing around my head and yelling at me ;)

Thanks Levina. The last one was more luck and 10 frames per second :D
