Belted Kingfisher
A pair of Belted Kingfishers "own" Oyster Pond. Their call is quite distinctive, almost a rattling sound. When you scan the edge of the pond, you can pick out the white of their chests on a lower-level, exposed perch. The Belted Kinfisher is unusual in the avian world - it is the female that is the more colorful. She has chestnut markings on her chest, which the male lacks.
