Methodology_Description:
Micronesian Kingfishers were investigated on three study areas on the island of Pohnpei, Federated States of Micronesia, which have been extensively described elsewhere (Kesler 2002, Kesler and Haig 2005a, Kesler and Haig 2005b). Birds were captured in mist nets between February and July 1999, March and August 2000, September 2001, September 2002 and January 2003, October and November 2003, and September 2004. Age was determined using breast, belly, and vent plumage coloration, with adults displaying white underparts and juveniles showing rufous (Pratt et al. 1987, Fry and Fry 1992). Yearlings and juveniles were also characterized by slight rufous coloration in the flanks, although they were primarily white throughout the belly and vent (D. Kesler, unpublished data). Tarsus length, exposed culmen, and wing cord were measured during each capture. Each bird was weighed using a 100 g hanging pesola scale and approximately 0.1 cc of blood was drawn from the ulnar vein using a 27-gauge needle. Blood was immediately placed in storage buffer (100 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 100 mM EDTA, 10 mM NaCl, and 0.5% SDS) and frozen. Morphological measurements were also recorded from museum specimens at the American Museum of Natural History. D. Kesler recorded all morphological measures.
