Tormentor of this photographer, that is. I often see them at my favorite wildlife management area, but somehow they are always a few wing beats ahead.
I get closer, and just as the the camera is halfway up, zoom…
And sometimes they aren’t Kingfishers at all.
Tricky!
Great comparison shots, Ellen! Both are like bullets shooting through the air!
Thanks, Donna! I had never seen a Blue Jay with that speed before, I really thought it was the Kingfisher I had just seen. Wow!
