Very nice shot of that puffin. I love the fact that they are such an unusual looking bird.

Mike, kingfishers were my nemesis ! They are really wary birds and can be frustrating.
This shot was one I got last year. I noticed a pair of kingfishers flying around where I keep my boat. I observed them for a few weeks and noticed (like most birds) that they are habitual and were landing on the same perches. So I set up a blind near one of those perches and waited. Took some time, but it paid off in the end.

Wonderful shot David...I want to get one of those guys sooo badly.

Something different... not perfectly executed, but I like the idea:

That is something different, and I think it's really a cool idea.
