belted kingfisher

Less likely birds that have occurred in Britain are the belted kingfisher and American yellow-billed cuckoo.

There are some birds that cannot sing: the belted kingfisher, for instance; he can only rattle.

The belted kingfisher comes close to the house, where I can watch him fishing as I sit at the window.

But he leaves when a belted kingfisher comes screaming along the stream.

These birds are chiefly tropical, the Belted Kingfisher being the only one of the family that is found north of Texas.
