Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences, Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas 77843 USA On 26 July 1973, Mr. Charles Donaldson picked up an injured Jabiru (Jabiru mycteria) at the south city limits of Houston, Harris County, Texas. The bird was given to Mrs. John Snyder of LaPorte, Texas, who attempted to nurse the bird back to health. The stork died the evening of 27-28 July. I prepared the specimen, an immature of unknown sex, and deposited it in the Texas Cooperative Wildlife Collections, Texas A&M University (No. 9524). The bird was not fat and had an injury on the upper breast. The feathers did not show excessive wear or wing clipping, as might be expected of a former captive. In an attempt to locate the origin of this unusual visitor, I contacted the several zoos in Texas, all with negative results. The species is imported regularly as indicated by the 56 Jabirus listed for the years 1968, 1969, and 1970 (Banks 1970, Banks and Clapp 1972, Clapp and Banks 1973). The Jabiru has twice been reported from Texas. A head of this species was sent to the Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences in 1867, supposedly from Austin, Travis County; the specimen is now missing and the locality in doubt (Oberholser 1974). In 1971 an immature Jabiru remained on the King Ranch, Kleberg County, from 18 August to 8 September; it was observed and photographed by several persons (Hauke and Kiel 1973). A copy of the photograph is deposited in the Texas Photo-Record File, Texas A&M University. About the same time that Donaldson picked up the Jabiru near Houston, an immature was discovered near Bixby, Oklahoma (McConnell and McConnell 1974). The bird remained in the Bixby area from 28 July to at least 9 August 1973. This record was also documented by photographs. It is significant that all three recently appearing Jabirus were immatures. This fits well with our knowledge of post-breeding wandering by juvenal ciconiiforms. Many persons assume (see Oberholser 1974) that Wood Storks (Mycteria americana) appearing in Texas in late summer and fall come from Mexico. Many of these birds are immatures. Jabirus nest with or near Wood Storks in the State of Campeche, and possibly in Tabasco (A. Sprunt IV, in litt.). Sprunt states that "Jabiru's are not all that uncommon in the big marshes in Tabasco and Campeche. We have seen as many as twenty in a day of aerial survey work over these marshes." I believe it is highly probable that the three recent occurrences represent situations where immature Jabirus mixed with flocks of Wood Storks and moved north with these flocks into Texas and Oklahoma in postbreeding dispersal. This is contribution number TA 13739 from the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station. LITERATURE CITED BANKS, R. C. 1970. Birds imported into the United States in 1968. U.S. Fish Wildl. Serv., Spec.
