<![CDATA[This study aims to determine the diversity and abundance of kingfisher species in the Marisa watershed, Karangetang Village. The method employed was Point Count, which involved 5 counting points, each 200 meters apart, with a viewing distance of 50 meters and observation time of 20 minutes. The study identified 4 kingfisher species from the Alcedinidae family, two of which are endemic (Ceyx fallax, Pelargopsis melanorhyncha) and two non-endemic (Alcedo meninting, Todirhamphus chloris) in the forest edge area point count 1,2 with diversity index H' = 3,00 (high) and point count 3, 4 and 5 community farmland area with diversity index H' = 3,26 (high). Among the four species, the most dominant was C. fallax (Di = 38,77%), T. chloris (Di = 36,73%), Alcedo meninting (Di = 22,45%), and Pelargopsis melanorhyncha (Di = 2,04%), indicating a moderate dominance in abundance.]]>
