This belted kingfisher was flying from perch to perch at the Marine Nature Study Area in Oceanside, NY.

Comments and suggestions welcome,

Kingfishers... my nemesis. I can never seem get a shot that satisfies me. Nice work with these Morris, glad to see some people have better luck than me. Well done !

Thank you John,

They are very shy. Shoot from a blind or stay back 50 feet or more.
