A biologist just wrote me about a sighting in Gunnison County. Are there records of this species north of southern TX?
"I just saw a ringed kingfisher (the larger/est
kingfisher) along the river by the hummingbird nest that the crow got. I saw these all the time in Venezuela so I am
sure of my ID."

Professor EmeritusDr. David Inouye just gave an update on WSBN: “Apparently it was a large belted that the aquatic biologist spotted near Crested Butte, not ringed. “
