I was at the local pond last week a couple times, weather permitting, and caught this KF working the pond. He was flying from perch to another, skimming the water, and tried to find ways to swallow his catches, in various sizes, and he didn't stop with one. He was allot of fun to watch and he gave some fun challenges. An enjoyable couple days.

My goodness, outstanding work. I love the ones in flight over water, and although the background doesn't cooperate in the "fish dinner" shots, they are amazing. One of them looks like you used flash - did you, or was the sun cooperative on that one?

Well done, bravo!!

Chris, Your cameral and lens really locked on the the KF for razor sharp images even with things in the background that could have caused miss focus. Love them. Bruce
