The kingfisher population on Guam was federally listed as an endangered species in 1984, but by 1988, was close to becoming extinct, along with the majority of Guamâs other avifauna. The dramatic loss of the avifauna on Guam was a direct result of predation by the introduced brown treesnake. Kingfishers were last reported in southern Guam in the 1970s. A U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) survey conducted in 1981 estimated the total population remaining in northern Guam to be 3,023.
