Original artwork description:

Drawing of a belted Kingfisher (lat. Megaceryle alcyon)._x000D_ It is a large, conspicuous water kingfisher._x000D_ 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. 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, the Azores, Clarion Island, and has occurred as an extremely rare vagrant in Ecuador, Greenland, Ireland, Netherlands, Portugal, and the United Kingdom. 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._x000D_ _x000D_ Created using Schneider ballpoint pens on Fedrigoni paper._x000D_ This artwork is sold unframed, with certificate of authenticity.
