Abstract

Tropical Parula (Parula pitiayumi), Northern Parula (Parula americana), and Summer Tanager (Piranga rubra) territorial males were detected 7 June 2005, in San Patricio County, in the Coastal Bend region of South Texas. Eight singing Northern Parula males, one pair (one singing male and one nearby female) of Tropical Parulas, and six singing Summer Tanager males were detected during a territorial male count for summer breeding birds. Based on behavior (some were observed carrying nesting material) and time of year (June), these species were assumed to be breeding.
