Hey, are you inactive?

Nope, I’m just lurking! I don’t really go out of my way to reblog bird pics much anymore unless it happens to come across my dash, though submissions are more than welcome! 

Edit: Hmm, guess it would help if I made a submission button huh?

Look at that aerial control, they’re amazing!

[nubbsgalore]

kingfishers, who need to consume their own bodyweight in food each day, prey on unsuspecting fish in rivers and streams, diving with great speed and stealth before returing, heavy with water, to their waterside perches.  the kingfisher, whose wings flap at eight times a second, is the largest bird to hover, and can catch in a fish less than half a second.  

photos by (click pic) marco redaellli, charlie hamilton james, max rinaldi, jamie macarthur, jacopo rigotti, and christopher schlaf, who will spend hours and days in silence and stillness hiding along (as well as in) known fishing hotspots for the kingfisher, in the hopes of capturing images such as these.

These amazing gifs come from the book BIRD by Andrew Zuckerman. This enormous coffee table book has the most amazing photos of birds you’ll ever see. I have it, and it’s one of my favorite things.

Check out the beautiful book.
