Belted Kingfisher Hunting From Perch, Kenmore, Washington

A female belted kingfisher (Megaceryle alcyon) hunts from its perch on a branch over the Sammamish River in Kenmore, Washington. Kingfishers often sit on prominent exposed perches, about 5 to 20 feet above the water, searching for small fish. When they find one, they dive head first into the water to catch it.
