Although there are eighty-seven kinds of Kingfishers in the world, many of them adorned with tropical colors, only one is to be found in most of North America. The Belted Kingfisher has a vast breeding range, extending from Labrador, James Bay, and Alaska south to the Gulf states and California. In winter some may travel as far as Panama, but a few remain as far north as the Great Lakes and New England, restricted only by the absence of open water. They prefer calm water where they can discover their prey with ease. Their nests are holes dug in the earth or sand not far from the water's edge.
