Climate of a Belted kingfisher

The belted kingfisher (Megaceryle alcyon) is typically found in habitats near freshwater bodies like rivers, lakes, and ponds across North America. They thrive in temperate climates but can also be found in more tropical regions during winter migrations. Their presence is often associated with areas that have abundant fish and suitable nesting sites, such as riverbanks or steep shores. These birds are known to adapt to seasonal changes, migrating southward in colder months to find more favorable feeding conditions.
