San Luis National Wildlife Refuge - Belted Kingfisher


crSLNWR - Belted Kingfisher (3), originally uploaded by kimberzy.

As their name implies, these birds are fishing birds, but they also eat amphibians, insects, small mammals, reptiles amd small crustaceans. This particulare bird is a female, as the male lacks the reddish "belt" across its breast.
