Monito Island, a 15-ha plateau surrounded by steep undercut cliffs, lies halfway between Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. Seven of the 9 sea birds are known to breed, and 2 (Blue-faced Booby and Laughing Gull) are here recorded as breeders in Puerto Rico for the first time....
Status and nesting of the yellow-billed cuckoo in Puerto Rico
Cameron B. Kepler, Angela K. Kepler
1978, The Auk (95) 417-419
Knowledge of the status of the Yellow-billed Cuckoo (Coccyzus americanus) in the Greater Antilles has been clouded by the bird's elusive behavior and spotty distribution on the islands, and by a major movement of North American migrants through the area to and from their wintering grounds in South America. Although...

Observations and reinterpretation of kingfisher-raptor interactions
Ronald E. Kirby, Mark R. Fuller
1978, The Auk (95) 598-599
Reported observations of Belted Kingfisher (Megaceryle alcyon)-raptor interactions have ranged from brief encounters where the kingfisher escaped the raptor and the hawk subsequently flew away to repeated chases (Johnson 1925, McCabe and McCabe 1928, Skinner 1928, Smith 1963). In some repetitive chases, kingfishers appeared to initiate the interaction (McCabe and...
