Field Notes

Description:

I saw the king fisher again. (Previous spotting: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/22628170.)

Habitat:

This bird's breeding habitat is near inland bodies of waters or coasts across most of Canada, Alaska and the United States.

Notes:

Spotted at a wooded detention/retention pond in an office building complex in Kennesaw, GA. This is the same little pond where I've spotted ducks, geese, and beaver signs.
