Abstract

FORCEY, John M.  and  ARAGON, Ramiro. Notes on Oaxacan birds. Huitzil [online]. 2009, vol.10, n.2, pp.38-47. ISSN 1870-7459.

New material is presented with regard to breeding, distribution, and movements of 46 Oaxacan bird species. Included are new details regarding observations of two species recently reported for the state for the first time and one of them for Mexico, as well as information on the presence or movement of eight other species that are known as non-breeding species in Oaxaca. We provide reports of observations confirming the breeding of 11 species for certain regions of the state (mostly Central Valleys and adjacent Sierras) and more limited evidence, mostly simple presence during the presumed breeding season, for 11 others. Other miscellaneous notes give new information regarding sympatry, short distance migration, and short distance vagrancy for various Oaxacan birds.

Keywords : Oaxaca; breeding birds; range; movements.
