That's funny! Kingfishers sure love to sit on wires over the water. That's where you can spot them here in Ohio also.

"It always looked so easy, but I guess Dad was right; it's not for us" Fun shot.

Wonderful shot! You gotta wonder how those bobbers got up on that line. Maybe the kingfisher stole someone's fish that were reeling in?

Great Pic of the day Vern!
Every time I see this bird, it is always moving
and hard to get a shot of it,well done great shot!

Good catch by you Vern, and not such a good one by someone else!
Guest 30-Jan-2010 22:58

Apparently, all fishermen run into problems when they're casting. . . . ;)

Cool picture! Kingfishers are so neat looking but look out of proportion, big headed. Linda S

Way too funny Vern, Maybe it is thinking ... Hmm I may have better luck if I use the line and bobber to catch dinner. Great shot!
