I set up my blind near a perch used by a pair of local Belted Kingfishers this morning, and these are a couple of images from the outing.

It also rained most of the two hour outing.

Very nice shots Ed. One thing about shooting birds, they don't much care about the rain, if you can stand it, they will be there to shoot. :)
