 Megaceryle alcyon (Belted Kingfisher). | Perching on a post that once held a nice birdhouse is this belted kingfisher Megaceryle alcyon. This species is a stocky, medium-sized bird and nests in a horizontal tunnel made in river banks or similar sand banks. I will definitely try to get some better pictures soon. wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belted_kingfisher Audubon: http://www.audubon.org/field-guide/bird/belted-kingfisher |
