Kingfisher flying out of nesting cavity-0402

Idaho

Nicknamed "The Bullet"
Man these birds were fast. I was shooting at anywhere from 1/2500 to 1/4000sec
shutter speed to get decent images of these birds, and 1/4000 was much
closer to actually freezing their movement for a sharp image.
Where you see him here, he is leaving the nesting hole!
