Nice Kingfisher shot. Ive been trying to get a good photo of one of them for a long time and have yet to accomplish it. They are very difficult birds to photograph, very skittish and never sit still long.
Since I just posted to the Zoo thread, I figured I'd put this pic here. It's my favorite bird (and zoo) shot from a couple of years ago. I check "bird shot" off my list after this one. It's from the Southwick Zoo, somewhere around Boston.

Beautiful bird and interesting preening pose, well done Jim. You managed a natural background which almost seems impossible in a Zoo for me!

I put some natural perches up today. All that came by my feeders were chickadees. I liked the composition on this one, but some camera-shake is evident when viewed at higher magnifications. Canon 40D, 400mm f5.6 (@f6.3), 1/500s, iso 320, manual flash on full power.

This page has all great shots. I love the detail that we get to see on this thread. It kinda shows me what my camera is capable of producing... hopefully some day I can manage to get shots like these.
