King Fisher fishing...
Having tried to capture some of the local ones at nearby beaver ponds I have a deep appreciation for this pphotographe's skill and luck. They are very, very fast, their hunting perches are low, close to the water, and striking flights very short, a few yards at most. Using a 35mm camera with 300mm medium telephoto lens, handheld, I never had any success, only the occassional blue blur when I was able to swing almost fast enough. This head on shot is amazing, very long odds of making the capture. Hat tip to the lensman.
