Kingfisher At Rest

Kingfishers rarely stay still long enough for me to capture them with a camera.
Though this shot isn't the greatest, it gave me a sense of achievement and a good look at an elusive subject (for me!).

Nikon D3 ,Nikkor 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6D ED VR AF

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Beautiful capture, Vern. I have never been able to get a decent shot of this extremely elusive bird.

Wonderful image,vote. Paolo

Wonderful, clear catch with great color, Vern!

With that blue wig he looks like some of the bus riders.

Congratulations! He's on my list of "Hopefully someday. . ." to get a shot of - no success for me yet. So happy to see you got him! A real nice male you caught here.

Great catch, Vern! What a gorgeous little guy!! Love it that he chose a complimentary color to perch on! Donna

Paul Milholland		05-Jan-2011 04:21
I see he managed to pick a perch that complements his colors. ;-)

Steve Thuman		05-Jan-2011 03:17
You sure measured up to his fear zone. HA HA

Guest		05-Jan-2011 01:33
This bird really measures up!

Rich Strobel		05-Jan-2011 00:45
I can see why you are happy getting this shot Vern, I have seen Kingfishers but have never managed to get one on the chip!! I did get a hint on where to find one today!!

Jack Hoying		05-Jan-2011 00:07
A real good catch. I've never gotten very close to one, although we see the fairly often.

Guest		04-Jan-2011 23:36
Really gorgeous....love the pole.

Greg W		04-Jan-2011 23:29
Looks as if he was measuring the size of your lens and scared him stiff and was happy to be your model.

Chris Cochems		04-Jan-2011 22:29
Good job, Vern. Kingfishers and Common Yellowthroats are a royal bitch to shoot.

Bea.		04-Jan-2011 22:02
Well done Vern, and you got the shot!

Roger Bailey		04-Jan-2011 21:47
Great catch Vern, not like our Kingfisher.

Ed Duverger		04-Jan-2011 21:40
That was a good catch.
