Wah
 You are able to capture 2 species of uncommon kingfishers within a period of 2 months! I am really envious man  |

Very good catch!!!
But on a side note, wonder why they call it the 'Common' Kingkisher when it is so uncommon?  |

Jason, excellent catch there with good detail.
I like shot #2, with his "punk hairdo" pose. You must be pretty close to get such shots, this guy is really tiny, and tough to spot and approach. Good job! |

Newguy69 & Garion...thanks.
Btw, just to set the record straight, pic is highly cropped... not full frame, thus I'm am not close to the bird... just some great noise reduction tool I used... and I am behind a hide for many hours before this fellow comes close enough for a decent pic.  |
