Компания The Getted Kingfisher ( Megaceryale Alcyon ) - большой, заметный водяной , родом из Северной Америки. Все Kingfishers размещены в одной семье, Alcedinidae, и недавние исследования показывают, что это следует разделить на три подсемейства.

Таксономия

Первое официальное описание кингфишер с покровным было было шведским натуралистом Карлом Линнеусом в 1758 году в десятом издании его системы Naturae . Он представил биномиальное название Альседо Алкьон . ^{[ 2 ]} Нынешний род Megaceryle был возведен немецким натуралистом Иоганном Якобом Каупом в 1848 году. ^{[ 3 ]} Megaceryle из древнегреческого мегаса , «великого» и существующего рода Ceryle . Специфический Alcyon - это латынь для "Kingfisher". ^{[ 4 ]}

The Megaceryle large green kingfishers were formerly placed in Ceryle with the pied kingfisher, but the latter is closer to the Chloroceryle American green kingfishers. The belted kingfisher's closest living relative is the ringed kingfisher (M. torquata), and these two in all probability originated from an African Megaceryle which colonized the Americas.^[5]

Description

The belted kingfisher is a stocky, medium-sized bird that measures between 28–35 cm (11–14 in) in length with a wingspan of between 48–58 cm (19–23 in). This kingfisher can weigh from 113 to 178 g (4.0 to 6.3 oz).^[6]^[7] The adult female averages slightly larger than the adult male.

This species has a large head with a shaggy crest. Its long, heavy bill is black with a grey base. These features are common in many kingfisher species. This kingfisher shows reverse sexual dimorphism, with the female more brightly coloured than the male. Both sexes have a slate blue head, large white collar, a large blue band on the breast, and white underparts. The back and wings are slate blue with black feather tips with little white dots. The female features a rufous band across the upper belly that extends down the flanks. Juveniles of this species are similar to adults, but both sexes feature the rufous band on the upper belly. Juvenile males will have a rufous band that is somewhat mottled while the band on juvenile females will be much thinner than that of adult females.^[8]

Distribution and habitat

The only kingfisher in the majority of its range, the belted kingfisher's breeding habitat is near inland bodies of waters or coasts across most of North America, within Canada, Alaska and the United States. They migrate from the northern parts of its range to the southern United States, Mexico, Central America, and the West Indies in winter. It is a rare visitor to the northern areas of Colombia, Venezuela, and the Guianas.^[9]^[10]^[11] During migration it may stray far from land; the species is recorded as an accidental visitor on several Pacific islands, such as Cocos Island, Malpelo Island, Hawaii,^[12] the Azores,^[13] Clarion Island,^[14] and has occurred as an extremely rare vagrant in Ecuador,^[13] Greenland, Ireland, Netherlands, Portugal, and the United Kingdom.^[1]^[15] The southernmost records of M. alcyon are from the Galapagos Archipelago, insular Ecuador, where it occurs as a migrant in small numbers but apparently not every year.^[16]^[17]^[18]

It leaves northern parts of its range when the water freezes; in warmer areas, it is a permanent resident. A few individuals may linger in the north even in the coldest winters except in the Arctic, if there are remaining open bodies of water.^[19]

Ecology and behaviour

The belted kingfisher is often seen perched prominently on trees, posts, or other suitable watchpoints close to water before plunging in headfirst after its fish prey. They also eat amphibians, molluscs, small crustaceans, insects, small mammals, small birds, reptiles and berries.^[20]

As the kingfisher flies about its habitat, it frequently emits a characteristic rattling call.^[21] Accordingly, a small group of belted kingfishers is known as a rattle, concentration, or kerfuffle.^[22]^[23]

This bird nests in a horizontal tunnel made in a river bank or sand bank and excavated by both parents. The female lays five to eight eggs and both adults share the task of incubating the eggs and feeding the young. During the breeding season, males may also exhibit a strong degree of territoriality in the immediate vicinity of their nest, chasing away conspecifics and predators alike.

The nest of the belted kingfisher is a long tunnel and often slopes uphill. One possible reason for the uphill slope is that, in case of flooding, the chicks will be able to survive in the air pocket formed by the elevated end of the tunnel.^[21]
