Resumen
GONZALEZ-MEDINA, Erick y GUEVARA-MEDINA, Miguel. A new breeding site for the gull-billed tern (Gelochelidon nilotica) in Central Sinaloa, northwestern Mexico. Huitzil [online]. 2008, vol.9, n.1, pp.6-7. ISSN 1870-7459.
We discovered a new breeding site for the Gull-billed Tern (Gelochelidon nilotica) in central Sinaloa, Mexico. We recorded the presence of this species in an abandoned salt pan at Bahía Ceuta since 2004. A nesting record was made in 2006, an adult incubating among several nest of Least Tern (Sternula antillarum). Our observation indicates that despite the intensity of the survey by Palacios and Mellink, inventorying of Gull-billed Tern colonies in western Mexico has not been fully completed, and some small colonies might still be found.
