After shooting pictures of the Blue Angels the past two days I decided to head for the osprey nest in Everett as my wife wanted to go to the farmers market. While she shopped I watched as the babies were leaving the nest. They all can fly now as Bill Dewey showed last week with the first flight pictures. They don't go very far but soon they will. As I was watching them I noticed some small flying objects way off in the distance. I pointed my camera and sure enough there were two kingfishers. I snapped a couple of pictures before they flew off. The pictures suffered since I had to crop so heavily but it is a start. These guys are next to impossible to get pictures of sitting still let alone in motion. I will take these as my starting point. These were all shot with the D2X and the sigma 500 4.5 lens and nikon 14EII tc,
And here are a couple of the baby osprey after flying out of the nest
