One-Year Ago (11-February-2014) — Florida

Gone to See America. February 2014 Florida Road Trip. Day 11: Big Cypress National Preserve.

Kingfisher at the Big Cypress Swamp in Florida. I had a hard time getting a picture of this guy. Every time I got close, he would fly off. Finally, I just waited for him to come back to a favorite perch. Image taken with a Nikon D3s camera and 70-200 mm f/2.8 VR lens (ISO 1000, 200 mm, f/2.8, 1/500 sec).
