 Green Kingfisher - Pantanal, Brazil
I usually don't post laptop processed images from far away places because they don't always look like they should when on a highly calibrated workstation and I know the discerning eyes of the NSN audience D500, 500mm + 1.4x, ISO 400, f/7.1, 1/1250s  But...The Green Kingfisher is a small tropical Kingfisher that just barely ranges into the southern parts of Texas and the southernmost border regions of Arizona. Ever since I became aware of this bird 16 years ago I have been on a quest to photograph it. This includes numerous long distance automobile trips and even some longer airliner trips. While I have seen it a couple of times, I have never been able to photograph it... until this morning in Brazil's Pantanal! I had to ask our boat driver to slowly paddle the boat by inch increments to finally get the bird to a position where both the light was good and the busy jungle background was thrown far enough out of focus!

Just kidding, its a beauty and tack sharp, especially when clicked on to see the uncompressed version. Lovely sheen on the plumage and I love the 'freckles' on the breast.
