ABC Wednesday and Wild Bird Wednesday
K is for Kingfishers - stocky, fish-eating birds with dagger-like bills

Tupelo, Mississippi, USA, September 6, 2018

Belted Kingfishers, Megaceryle alcyon, have a range that covers most of North America. Look for them perched on tree branches that overhang ponds or streams, and you may see them dive into the water to catch a fish. They also eat insects, crustaceans, reptiles, and small mammals.

Have a wonderful day!
