What can I say. Those birds just are standouts. The bugs are sharp. Colors and perspective wonderful. Enough gushing.

Awesome set @Ducatigaz - very beautiful kingfisher! We do not have that species around here, we have the belted kingfisher which is considered a "prize" to get good photographs of, I am guessing your kingfishers are also classified as "prize" encounters...
