Woodland Wildlife Spotlight: Belted Kingfisher

Where Maryland’s topography varies enough so that gentle or steep banks rise above the rivers, streams, ponds, lakes, and estuaries, and where trees are found along the water’s edge, you may find one of the state’s most fascinating birds: the belted kingfisher. A year-round resident, this colorful hunter lives throughout Maryland.
