Kingfisher, Osprey and Eagle in under 2 minutes

[coastalconn]

I got to my favorite birding spot this morning and as soon as I started watching a woodpecker, I heard a Kingfisher, I grabbed a shot and saw an Osprey flying towards me and a few seconds later an Eagle came in out of no where. It was a frenzy.. feedback welcome.

Oh wow..what a spot! The last two are great shots of the birds....but the first has an interesting composition element that I like very much. I wish there was just a little more on the LHS, though!! Great job!

Thanks Charlie! That damn little Kingfisher has been tormenting for 2 weeks now and I just can't get close enough. I guess I cropped it how I felt about it, on the edge It was a happy few minutes for me with woodpeckers on both sides and a great crested flycatcher also.. Life on the coast in CT

Lol, my first thought was holy *@^#. Then my next thought was about the people in forums that think a large buffer and a high frame rate isn't necessary
