About the bird:
A skilled hunter,
the Belted Kingfisher feeds mostly
on small fish, so these birds are rarely
found far from water.
Range:
Resident across most of
North America; breeds into Canada
but absent in winter.
About the photo:
Here is a nice,
full-frame shot of a kingfisher that
was looking for fish below the dock.

About the bird:
This familiar bird
is named for its call, a lively “chick-a-
dee-dee-dee.”
Range:
Resident in northern two-
thirds of North America; replaced in
the South by Carolina Chickadee.
About the photo:
This particular
chickadee is boldly defending its place
at the feeder from an intruding Red-
breasted Nuthatch.

About the bird:
This large
songbird is easily identified by its blue
plumage and conspicuous crest.
Range:
Resident in eastern two-
thirds of North America; northern
birds move south in winter.
About the photo:
Blue Jays are
infamous for driving away other
birds and taking control of backyard
feeders, but they are, in fact, beauti-
ful birds! Here, two jays scope out a
feeder.
