  NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Belted Kingfisher
The Belted Kingfisher (Megaceryle alcyon) is a large, conspicuous and noisy kingfisher, the only member of that group commonly found in the northern United States and Canada.
Kingfishers are birds of the three families Alcedinidae (river kingfishers), Halcyonidae (tree kingfishers), and Cerylidae (water kingfishers).
Kingfishers of all three families beat their prey to death, either by whipping it against a tree or by dropping it on a stone.

 Kingfisher halts talks in France
RETAIL group Kingfisher yesterday said it had suspended talks on a £225m takeover of But, the French furniture and electricals goods chain, amid suggestions that it had grown concerned about the prospects for the French economy.
Kingfisher bought a 26pc stake in But in two stages last year and negotiated an option agreement to take full control by buying the 30pc owned by Michel Venturini and his family.
Kingfisher's shares responded well to the news, rising 25 to 857.5, as investors took the suspension of talks as a sign that the group's ambition to expand further in continental Europe will not be pursued at any cost.

 San Diego Zoo's Animal Bytes: Kingfisher
Kingfishers like to keep clean and bathe by diving into water, then perching in the sun to dry and preen their feathers.
Kingfishers that live in forests, grasslands, and deserts have a different diet, dining on a variety of insects, spiders, reptiles, and small mammals, which they catch by spying the prey from a perch and darting out to snap it up.
Kingfishers have a variety of calls used to announce their territory, warn off other birds, and communicate with a mate and their chicks, such as shrieks, screams, clicks, whistles, chuckles, rattles, and chirps.

 Kingfisher, Alcedo atthis
The kingfisher's fortunes over the years have been greatly influenced by man. Early writers often remarked that the plumage was much sought after to decorate ladies' hats, fishing interests persecuted the bird and it was often admired set-up in a glass dome.
The kingfisher is highly susceptible to prolonged freezing and Arctic-type winters have decimated the population.
On another occasion, at Breydon, a hungry kingfisher alighted on a punt gun, using it as a perch, while it fished in open water where the punt (complete with wildfowler) was moored.
