Abstract
A released or escaped population of zebra finches (Poephila guttata) in a residential area of Temple, Bell County, Texas, has been monitored for approximately 2 years. Initially, 20 individuals were observed in an area of new residential construction. The population now inhabits a more heavily vegetated area and numbers of individuals are more difficult to determine. Although numbers of individuals possibly have declined, nests, successful brooding, and juvenile birds have been observed. Climate has probably not been stressful to the birds. The long-term survivability of the population is questionable.
