Here's another Ringed Kingfisher from the Pantanal in Brazil, this one in better light. I have to say I am so impressed with the autofocus of the 1DX II, during this sequence the kingfisher flew around us in a loop and every image of about 30 was sharp, if it locks on it doesn't let go.

This is awesome Nate! Lots of great action and colors as he comes out of the water and it looks like he has caught himself a little red belly piranha.
Nice work
