Green Kingfisher Chloroceryle americana - Pairs of this species were observed at five localities on the Aransas River and two on Moody Creek (a tributary of the Aransas) (Fig. 5). In addition, a pair was seen on a creek in Sinton (#6, Fig. 5) and at Paradise Pond (#7, Fig. 5) in Port Aransas. Both members of one of the pairs on Moody Creek (#2, Fig. 5) were captured and banded; the female was captured and banded on 22 Apr 2007 and recaptured on 10 Apr 2009 at the same locality. Active nest holes (adults entering car- rying food) were located at #1 and #4 (Fig. 5). Great Kiskadee Pitangus sulphuratus - Pairs were observed at 22 separate localities in 2007-2009, 21 of which were along the Aransas River or nearby wetlands, and one in Sinton, 7 km S of the Aransas; active nests (adults constructing or visiting) were found at 12 sites (Fig. 6) most of which were over or near open water. Eggs were collected from site #2 (Fig. 6). Birds responded to playback (calling, ap- proach) at two sites (#13 and 17, Fig. 6). Photos were recorded at the CONE site during several months in 2008 and 2009 (Table 1), although the only attrac- tions at the site were bathing areas and foraging perches. TABLE 1.
