Black Capped Kingfisher
A grab shot of this Black Capped Kingfisher as it popped out on a clean perch as I was driving by.
D200, AFS 600mm f4 1.7 X TC on a Kirk Window Mount
1/60s f/8.0 ISO 400
Slightly cropped in PS CS2, mild USM applied.

Hi Chien! Nice loook at a beautiful bird. I would remove the part of the perch below and above the bill. I'd also run some NR on the BG. Thanks for posting!
Yes, the perch coming out of the bill doesn't help an otherwise very nice image. Nice pose, good catch light and amazing colors.
extreme skittish kingfisher in our region...well done!
Great find, light and eye contact. I agree regarding perch and noisy BG. Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful bird and capture. I agree with the NR and the cloning suggested. Beautiful image and well worth all the efforts.
Nice shot - great colours.
beautiful bird -gotta love those grab shots:)
Thank you all for the feedback especially about the perch sticking out from the fella's head :eek:. Will try cloning it out in another round of PP.
Ender - Great seeing you here :)
