Great shots Ed......I only see these as a blur when they're flying in the opposite direction from where I am.

What the heck, I was expecting to see KINKFISHERS like the title says and all I get are these lame kingfisher shots. Just kidding as they are really quite spectacular. Wall hangers of museum quality!
