Abstract
Details are provided of the occurrence of a Mangrove Cuckoo in Galveston County, Texas from 30 December 1981 to 13 January 1982. Habitat selection and behavioral characteristics were noted. Research into the origin of the bird and subspecific identity resulted in clarification of the distribution of various races in Mexico and its relationship to birds reported from Texas. Photographs of the Galveston County bird provide the first documentation of the species occurrence in Texas and provide evidence that the bird was from populations described as Coccyzus minor continentalis.
