The Belted Kingfisher is widespread across most of North America but wanders widely, sometimes found in Britian, Ireland, Hawaii, Galapagos Islands, Greenland, Iceland, and the Netherlands. It is often first noticed by its rattling call as it flies along rivers or lakes. Perches on a high snag or hovers while rapidly beating wings before plunging headfirst into the water to grab fish or crayfish.
