I have heard and seen the
I have heard and seen the Belted Kingfisher along the Skippack Creek in Evansburg State Park, Evansburg, PA, along the Perkiomen Creek at it's confluence with the Skippack in Lower Providence, PA (near where I live), and have been able to take pictures of one fishing over a lake in French Creek State Park in Northern Chester County, PA.
While at our condo in Venice
While at our condo in Venice FLA (Feb 1st, 2013) I first heard this sweet little fellow warbling. I had to research him and find out who he was. He was perched at the tip-top (3 stories) of the roof across the pond from our lanai. He was busy singing away and seemed to be scanning the pond. Then he started hovering before plunge-diving for a fish. I did not see him catch a fish. He visited for about 20-30 minutes. I love his bushy spiked head and long beak. I hope he comes to visit again.
