This Belted Kingfisher was photographed in February perched in a dead tree over a river. Kingfishers dive for small fish and other aquatic prey from a perch or from a hovering position. The Belted Kingfisher is named for the band of blue-grey across its breast. Only the female has the additional chestnut band and chestnut flanks. It burrows tunnels into dirt banks in which it nests. Its loud rattle call is a familiar sound. Belted Kingfishers can be found along rivers and shores in lower Glacier Bay. Photographer: Nat Drumheller
