Harry this is a female kingfisher and I can help you find one:thumb Ben and I have found you need a lure [that is something to bring them in ] to get them close you can see I got close this may be hard to find on the wrong coast but we will send you one if Y R having trouble finding it

Hawaiian pizza they love it but you have to add anchovies :dunno

Jeff, your birds are not the same species as mine. Mine know all about lures.............and they are not having any. Besides that, they go to the docks, the shrimpers feed them, and the shrimpers don't try to pet them or take their photos either.

Remember though, Harry has that tree! Magical tree it is. That is enough for him, IMO.

You know the Bald Eagle, the thing I will see a mile away, but it sits on a stump for Harry.

Oh, nice Kingfisher. I have a small bird, haven't worked it up, been busy on the assignment. I don't "see" Kingfishers. They are here, I got one a while back, so they have to be here, I just don't see them. Heck, when I went to the nature place, I hardly saw any birds at all.

I have a map to a place over an hour from here, the Ace Basin, if anyone has heard of it. I don't want to drive there by myself, scared of car problems or something, and Bill is working for the next week, don't know about the next weekend. But first day off, I want to go there. Right on the nice huge map it says the birds are there in the fall and winter, in particular.

Of course it might take me awhile to find the right tree stump. Hey, maybe you could send lures to me. I find a stump and set out the lure in a trail to the stump: train the D birds.......

wolfgang would be so happy to see his pineapple creation being used not only for us lowly humans, but as an aid to us struggling photog types

Maybe we should send poor Harry a care package

May the "Dole" be with you :lol4

Excellent shot, good stealth technique

grumble, grumble, another bloody kingfisher shot. :pissed

Oh, Jeff what a fine shot of a difficult subject.

G if they are at the boats can you shoot there when they feed them He/she this is a she in a year i know more about birds than i ever wanted to know but we have the same thing here with migration ect there are less birds to shoot --that is why Ben and myself shoot the osprey the last time out we saw 6 and we walked less than ever .Anyway the kingfisher is a --- a --well hard to shoot -that shot I climb thru a fence crab walked and stayed lower that the grass and the shot thru thr grass for 6 shots ,she heard the clik and gone .You go to the library so do i i have 3 books on birding sites and they are not very good but they give you an idea of some places close to you to ck out and pizza is on its way may take a while Ben is bring it and he is walking

Nice shot Jeff. I almost had one Sat., it landed 25 feet in front of my blind but stayed only 3 sec.:cry In
and out in a flash. Leason learned, use the stupid remote and turn camera there. Would of had a shot
in 1.5 sec. because I'd prefocused and switched to maual on that exact landing spot. DW and I
were in the blind 3 hours before it came in. I told her NG photogs sit maybe days in blind just to get
that one great shot.

you are very right the kingfisher [as well as some birds] have habits the 2 spots I have found with KF they will go to a few spots but unlike you I have no patience or a pretty wife to share my blind so I hunt .They are fast ,fly in an erratic manner and do not like co. so all in all any KF shot is a good KF shot . good luck Allen and we will wait for your shot that is sure to come so far we Have good shots by Trish, G ,that guy what's his name oh yea Ben and myself I think Harry just does not what to share his good luck and thanks
