Belted Kingfisher
My second shoot with this species, at a different location.
These new images bring me back to when I first started with bird photography, in a serious capacity. After purchasing my first telephoto lens for the Nikon D70 and capturing my favourite bird at the time - the Red-tailed hawk, my next challenge was the local Kingfisher. (2003)
So this week, I revisited the same location where I started, at the same time of year., and yes, that still live here! After a couple hours, their morning hunt seemed to be completed, and they settled down.
I was very lucky to catch a few shots in such low light., iso 320 @ 1/50 sec. Great fun, and lucky for me, not too many mosquitoes!
Niagara, Ontario.
Thanks for looking.
