About This Activity
With a commanding presence defined by its robust build, dynamic flight, and sharp, resonant calls, the Belted Kingfisher exudes an unmistakable aura of regality as it gracefully patrols riverbanks and shorelines. They nest within earthen burrows and almost exclusively indulge in aquatic prey, skillfully plunging into the depths to secure a bounty of fish and crayfish using their sturdy, straight beak. Cloaked in a powdery blue-gray plumage, these birds exhibit a distinctive appearance. We’ll learn how to identify a Belted Kingfisher, distinguish between males and females, and discover their feathers' secrets. Grab your binoculars, spotting scopes, and best bird ID book; we’re going on an avian quest like nothing you’ve ever done before!
