RE: [cobirds] Possible Ringed Kingfisher in Gunnison County

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

Subject: [cobirds] Possible Ringed Kingfisher in Gunnison County

 

 I have no other details and no eBird report has been generated as of now.   The message below was posted last night to the Western Slope Birding Network.

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."
