Index of Subjects Roland & all, Don't know whether this counts, as I'm not sure if this behaviour typical or anomalous, but I have a summer place on a tributary (about thirty feet wide) of the West River in Pictou Cty. where a female belted K.F. used to regularly feed and hang out - with the exception of nesting time when she used an established tunnel in the bank of a dried rivulet about six hundred yards from the water. During this time, for several weeks, she would perch on a power line, always within a couple of hundred feet of her nest, from where she would prey on the local insect population (I assume feeding herself and her chick/s, as she would be absent from the river). After several weeks she would return to her normal feeding habit at the river - always alone, never with a youngster in tow. I haven't seen her for a couple of years now, since the spring when they clear cut the area where her nest was. K.
