King Fisher2016 viewsSorry for the poor quality of the photo, it was taken several hundred yards from the royal subject.

Watched a pair of King fishers feeding and mating for quiet some time but, photographing them was very tough to do since they rarely sit still and were at such a distance.

The photo was taken on my recent trip to Middle Tennessee near Rock Island.
