Belted Kingfishers are the only kingfisher we have here in South Carolina. About the size of a robin, these black and white birds with an expressive top crest can most often be found perching on overhanging branches, snags, or wires, scanning the water for prey. Favorite fun fact: a group of kingfishers is called either a crown (get it?) or a rattle, which makes sense based on their chattery call.
