This is the largest of the 5 kingfisher species we photographed in the Pantanal of Brazil. We were happy to get this one calling.

Every time I see an image like this, I get a bit jealous. I have never been able to get a decent image of one of these guys. They are sooooo spooky. Awesome capture. Really nice background.

Nate, this is nice. We have belted KF's around here, but I've never been successful.

Great catch Nate, love the calling pose and the overall composition. Have seen it only once near Ushuaia - amazingly large bird ! Congrats on this one, devil
