Belted Kingfisher diving
/During a recent photo outing to Texas and Louisiana, I saw a lot of Kingfishers and Northern Harriers but had obtained no decent photos of either. On November 13 at the Lacassine NWR in Louisiana, I saw this Belted Kingfisher hovering over the water at a distance and was able to focus on the bird and track it to the water.
Belted Kingfisher - November 13 2021 - Lacassine NWR (LA)
The three photos were taken with an Olympus E-M1X camera and a 150-400mm f4.5 TC lens. Shots were taken handheld @ 500mm, 1/4000 sec, f/8, ISO 800 or 1000.
These images were small in the frame. I used the Enhance feature in Lightroom to create enlarged versions.
