Belted Kingfisher Ceryle Alcyon

NY, Setauket

... about time to finally catch one.
Light was aweful and the background needed some serious branch removal but now that I know where
she sits and since we've negotiated the terms of the shoot there should be more to come...

Canon EOS 20D ,Canon EF 500mm f/4L IS USM
1/400s f/13.0 at 1000.0mm iso800 with Flash full exif

Very nice image of the Kingfisher. This fellow is an example of the exception to the rule that the male birds are more colorful than the female.
