RUEDA-HERNANDEZ, Rafael; RUIZ-SANCHEZ, Angelina  and  MIRANDA, Álvaro. First record of the Chestnut-sided Warbler (Setophaga pensylvanica) in the Chamela-Cuixmala Biosphere Reserve. Huitzil [online]. 2014, vol.15, n.1, pp.37-41. ISSN 1870-7459.

We report the first documented record of the Chestnut-sided Warbler (Setophaga pensylvanica) in the Chamela-Cuixmala Biosphere Reserve in Jalisco, Mexico. We show photographs of a bird captured in an old-growth semi-deciduous forest fragment (19^o25.139'N 104^o58.567'W; altitude 40 m). The winter distribution of this species is restricted to eastern México with few vagrancy records along the Pacific slope. This is the first documented record for the state of Jalisco and the first record overall for the Chamela-Cuixmala Biosphere Reserve.

Keywords : accidental records; natural protected area; western Mexico; eBird.
