It would hover like a hummingbird and a couple of times it dove into the water.

I believe he is a Belted Kingfisher
Kingfisher ?
Kingfisher. I see them all the time on the edge of the harbor.
Kingfisher! we have them on our dock from time to time. great little divers.
Ring Necked Don Kingfisher ?
Great shots of a Belted Kingfisher. A very cool bird!
king fisher
Kingfisher looking for small fish to pick off. Did he have kind of a screech like he had a sore throat?
I didn’t hear the screech because he was so far away (those shots are super cropped) but watching it hover like a hummingbird and then dive in the water had me searching the Audubon site for hummingbirds.
A belted kingfisher it is!
Belted Kingfisher..They are a nesting bird in Massachusetts some winter over in warmer area.
Belted Kingfisher – they are cousins with the Kookaburra from Australia! I worked at a zoo….
YEP. THAT’S A KINGFISHER.
Beautiful bird!
Brings back memories of the English countryside – kingfishers are a lovely sight.
Saw one of these in Ipswich on Sunday. Beautiful bird!
Belted Kingfisher it is.
holy mackerel there saphire! dats da Kingfisher!
It might be the same one that likes to hang out over the little bridge by Stop & Shop – have seen it there a number of times. It must be looking for bigger fish!!
Belted king fisher. You will find them in quiet saltwater coves on Cape Ann. This year I saw one in February on Wheeler’s Pt. Have fun watching them!
You can see them a lot over by Good Haror Beach…..Don’t you just love it!
So cool, possibly my new favorite bird.
