lol.. the kingfishers that we have around here are scaredy cats. Even when I'm in the very quiet and relatively unobtrusive kayak, they sight me from a quarter mile away and fly away scolding me the whole time. Posted 10 years ago

  I bear witness to the same behavior from the belted kingfishers here in Idaho. I have tried several times to hide along open streams to photograph them, but they always keep their distance, taunting me. Posted 10 years ago

This kingfisher is a resident over much of its range, although some populations may make short distance movements.
