These medium size (11 to 14 inches long), blue and white birds can be seen perched on branches, poles and power lines overlooking ponds, lakes, streams and marshes throughout much of the US. Kingfishers have been seen at They Lake Herrick and nearby parts of campus. They search for movement in the waters below, which they will either swoop or dive after. In addition to blue, males also have a red-brown belt.
