A private nature sanctuary
Where a spring-fed creek winds through ancient woodland and the jewel-bright kingfisher rules the water year-round.
Welcome
Kingfisher Hollow takes its name from the belted kingfishers that patrol every reach of the creek year-round — but they are only the beginning of the story. Ancient sycamores and cottonwoods shade the banks, forming a corridor that funnels wildlife through the property in every season.
Over one hundred species of birds have been recorded here, from neotropical warblers on spring migration to great horned owls calling through winter nights. The hollow is a living, breathing place — never the same on any two visits.
The Property
A spring-fed stream winds through the property's heart, creating riffles, calm pools, and gravel bars that attract waterbirds in every season. Crystal clear and teeming with aquatic life.
Mature sycamores, cottonwoods, and oaks form a cathedral canopy over the bottomland — home to nesting warblers, vireos, and the drumming of pileated woodpeckers.
Native grass meadows edge the woodland, drawing sparrows, meadowlarks, and hunting raptors. Wildflowers bloom from April through October, alive with pollinators.
"I have seen more birds before breakfast at Kingfisher Hollow than in a full day's effort elsewhere. The creek is the great draw — everything comes to drink, to fish, to bathe."— A frequent visitor & birder
