Over much of the United States, Belted Kingfishers are all year residents. In Canada and Mexico they are migratory birds. Fish are their primary source of food; look for them around ponds, lakes, and rivers.
Have a wonderful day!

We do see them here in the country. Beautiful birds.
ReplyDeleteAs is the case with many other species as the climate warms, Belted Kingfishers are spending the winter farther north. Here in southern Ontario, as long as there is open water I can generally find kingfishers, and I know a couple of spots where they have overwintered for several years.
