Belted Kingfisher Stanley Park has its resident belted kingfishers. They are more often seen than heard as they give their chattering call while in flight above open water or from a commanding perch. Kingfishers catch fish by diving from a hover position in the air or from a convenient hunting perch above the water. This female belted kingfisher is perch hunting.       Field Guide Entry: Belted Kingfisher
