Belted kingfisher

Description

“The King of fishers! The Belted Kingfisher uses amazing aqua-batics to catch their prey – hovering above the water on rapidly beating wings, then diving headfirst in pursuit of fish and crayfish. You’ll see their distinctive large headed, big-billed profile up and down the rivers and shorelines they patrol across North America. These guys are ancient – Pleistocene fossils (that’s 600,000 years old) of Belted Kingfishers have been unearthed in Florida, Virginia, Tennessee, and Texas. Our Belted Kingfisher would look very fine in any situation, especially overlooking a river or the beach.  A great gift for a water-lover or someone with a fishing addiction.
