Belted King Fisher
We live in NE Indiana near the ohio line. Have had a pair of Belted Kingfishers at our pond for a couple months, they dive in and come up with a fish. Love watching them.

I have a pair of Belted Kingfishers that fish every morning in my backyard pond in central upstate NY. At first I thought they were pileated woodpeckers until I finally took the binocs out to inspect them. What a grand surprise it was to see they were kingfishers!

I saw a Belted Kingfisher yesterday on our dock pole on the Trent River in Frankford, Ontario, Canada and I heard its song this am May 25, 2013.
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.

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.
