A lot of work went into this. Well done and thank you.
Maunster! Thanks, yah a lot of time invested but worth the effort.

Amazing, thank you so much
Fantastic video....I had no idea they nested in a burrow....learned so much about their habits! Very educational....thanks so much for sharing!
Thank you for taking taking all the time, videos and photos to document and tell this story. Well done and much appreciated.
Lovely description of the life of a belted Kingfisher and beautiful photography. I look forward to looking for your other videos.
Thanks
Thanks so much for making and sharing this video. I knew many of the facts, but learned a few new things. This year, I have been fortunate enough to watch a few of the young ones along a river not to far from me and noticed some of the things in the video. Twice today, one of them came up with just green stuff and starting to thrash it about. The other day, I watched as they would fly to the water and practice little dips into the water. Such a thrill to watch. Glad the young are not as skittish as the parents.
Thanks, yah amazing little guys.
What a wonderful bird. I'm hoping to find some next spring to photograph!
I love when I see a kingfisher. Every time I hear that rattle, I know kingfishers are afoot.
Tim dropping knowledge!!!! Great video. Very informative.
Footage and narration any Natgeo/Attenborough fan would love!! Very well done!!
Mïta Gibson Thanks, it was its was a fantastic filming project
Hi Tim, I just found your amazing video after a youTube search. Absolutely fabulous in every way. I've recently started trying my hand at video recording these little guys. up here in Ottawa. So much fun.
Thanks Rudy. The key for me was to locate the nesting site. Then place a pop up blind near there. The blind was left at location the entire nesting season. As far as the kingfisher was concerned there was nothing new.
Good luck.
Thank you, Tim. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching your documentary. I've learned so much. I just saw a pair of Belted Kingfishers atop a large pile of dirt perched on some dried wildflower stalks.
Meg Schroeder glad you liked it.

Excellent information with video and images.
Dan Bernskoetter thanks, was fun creating the program.
What an amazing video! Thank you so much!
Fantastic documentary! I really enjoyed the narration.
Excellent work!
Thank you - this was lovely. I saw one in the park today, divebombing the lake, and wanted to know more. Wonderful video.
What a cool video! You got some really fantastic footage! I just ID'ed a belted kingfisher (male) by the pond on our property and was curious about them. This really helped me learn what to look and listen for in the future! Thanks.
I got one of these chirpin around my backyard right now I love watching them fish.
Fabulous
Well done job!
Thanks
Wonderful video to watch and we enjoyed the narration as well!
Thank you, fun project
Thanks Tim for that time consuming project. Well done!
I recently have gotten into bird watching. Keep seeing the belted kingfisher in my bird book and decided to look into him. I really appreciate the time you put into this video. Thank you very much!
"Ooooh little Johnny, he was so cute", Then he almost got eaten by that huge Sturgeon fish. Haha! Awesome shots all together. Must have long hours of patient filming gone into weeks, even months to get all that footage.
3D Editor yep, it took a couple months to document the nesting season. Glad you liked it.
Great video!!
Well done. Great video.
This was fantastic, job well done.
Love your default photo! I’m obsessed with tree swallows .
@@jessicajaynenc1202 Thank you. You can see more on my website and Instagram account.
Great capture and nice video
I saw a belted kingfisher for the first time this week while taking a walk by the river on a snowy day. That loud rattling call really startled me at first! The bird was quite a character swooping back and forth.
i remember being in awe watching kingfishers fly from under this footbridge in florida, couldnt believe they could hover
i love this creation
Thank you
Beautiful loved this
Thanks
Beautiful footage of the scenery and great capture of such a wide array of Belted Kingfisher behaviour! Thanks for sharing! Like 👍
Well done-- thanks!
Thanks
Wonderful!!
Fantastic Video !!!!! THANK YOU.
Love this! Amazing
Thanks Jo
Thanks, loved it..
Thanks
This is why I love UA-cam......
Nice documentary!
What a wonderful little video! Thank you very much for making it.
my brother caught a picture of one this weekend in texas. so neat to learn about them, even with an annoying call
What a great video! Recently spotted a Kingfisher along our lake and wanted to learn about them. Thank you!
loved it.
Hats of for you sir. Loved it!
Wonderful video, Tim- thank you!
Tim, this is outstanding work, Ernie’s still photos are amazing also, I know how elusive the kingfisher is, how did you get the camera footage outside the nest, I know there was several remote cameras used at the various made perches, that were left on location but how did you get to tend to batteries and memory without disturbing the king fishers?
Allan Morris Thanks, it was a long process but totally worth the effort. I’d get to the location before light and set cams, the king fisher were still in the nest. A variety of cameras were used, GoPro remotely controlled from a blind. Sony and canon video cameras operated from a blind.
Thanks for your hard work on this amazing and educational video! 😇Watching the little ones leave brought a tear to my eyes
Thanks, it was a education filming it
thank you sir.made my day!
Wonderfully done, thank you. I learned a lot. I saw my first Kingfisher hovering over the water at our cottage this week, and wanted to learn more about them. There are no bluffs for them to nest in along our area so this one must have travelled a bit to fish near our shore, as it is shallow and still there.
Thanks Tracy
Nice narration.. very informative.
Incredible video, thanks so much for the time you put into this!
Thanks, time well spent.
Wow! 6 years ago. I saw you from our local fb group. Didn’t know you had a channel.
beautiful video
Thank you I have some on my pond and I wasn't sure what they were. I'm an Eastern Ontario about a mile from the Saint Lawrence river
Great content! Enjoyed watching and learning.
this buitifull bird is gourgous
Love it
Really nice documentary. I watched it with my son. Hopefully I'd gets many more views!
Thank You !! Wonderful Video !! :)
Thank you for this Tim, I learned a lot. I've only seen a few kingfishers from far away, was not sure where to look for them on a consistent basis. The other day, while shooting some egrets in a low tree, I got home and realized there was a female belted in the shot. I've been researching so I can try to get some better shots. This helps a lot.
This was a wonderful 11 minutes of my time....well done.
とても美しい映像、感動しました。チャンネル登録しました。
I saw one today splashing and diving three or four times over and over.
Shorewood Bch, Erie
Good work
The instinct to whack the fish to stun it against a branch is not a behaviour that is learned it's a built in instinct.
Nice documentery well naration
Better parents that humans parents!!!
Thank you for all the great info...i hv a female visiting my pond.
I am afraid to ask... what happened to the other 3 unnamed hatchlings?
Awesome! I have one behind my house. But I can't get within a hundred yards of it. I did finally get a pic of it. But I can't figure out how to share it here.
Charlie I used a pop up blind to photograph from.
I was just gonna say buy a bird blind
sorry is this use spotting scope or tele lens sir? what equipment did u use for taking amazing shot?very nice capture and amazing video
Vincent Erwin Photography I used a variety of cameras, 800mm lens with a canon camera, GoPro camera set is specific spots.
THanks for the great info!Love these birds! I'd love to get a photo of one but they're so fast and elusive . What state was this filmed in?
Your vid is now my favorite Kingfisher video and I love the story. While filming did you see one do this. ua-cam.com/video/hIdsyiAcCHU/v-deo.html I have yet to watch a bird beat a fish on a branch like this. Is it common?
Ray Myers me too
They are common in Texas
How do you distinguish a male from a female juvenile belted kingfisher?
hannah booth Glad you liked it, you can distinguish the sex by the coloration.
Outstanding documentary one this very unique species! They only winter done here in Florida, so no opportunity witness nesting. Learned a lot form your coverage! We have had the same male return to the same pond 3 years in a row, which I though was amazing. I have some images here, if you like to check them out. wklein.smugmug.com/Birds/Belted-Kingfisher/
wklein24 sorry it took me so long to reply. You have some amazing images, thanks for sharing.
7:30 omg the fish jumping, what was it doing?
Looked like a sturgeon fish going after little Johnny Kingfisher. haha!
walt walt it was a carp, they were spawning then.
Great video!
