Belted Kingfishers, Nesting

Apr 9, 2016 | Birds, Kingfishers

  • This was an exciting project because I was able to cover it from them selecting the nest, building the nest, feeding the young, and a youngster fledging.
  • Of interest was the female being the aggresser when mating.  .
  • To learn more about Belted Kingfishers look at The King of Fishers by Bob Armstrong and Marge Hermans.
