i was at a park this spring, prowling around the water's edge, looking for i'm not sure what, when i heard a splash behind me. i turned around just in time to see a kingfisher rising up out of the water with his lunch. i tried to get a shot, but by the time i got my camera up and focused, he'd dropped his prize, and had flipped over to dive back in after it! i managed this shot of him in mid-dive...
