Birding: All about belted kingfishers: A resident and migrant

Have you observed the belted kingfisher lately? Generally, we hear it before we see it. Its loud raucous rattle is a give-away to its presence. Its habitat is always near open water along rivers, streams, creeks, lakes and/or estuaries that provide perches for the bird to hunt from. These kinds of aquatic habitats are where you can expect to both hear and see the belted kingfisher. It is a common, permanent resident on the Long Beach Peninsula as well as in Pacific County. In addition, it nests and raises its family in our area.
