Abstract

PINEDA, Luis et al. First nesting record and new sightings of Vanellus chilensis in El Salvador. Huitzil [online]. 2020, vol.21, n.2, e577.  Epub Oct 17, 2022. ISSN 1870-7459.  https://doi.org/10.28947/hrmo.2020.21.2.442.

The importance of recording the distribution of species and their reproduction expands knowledge of their population dynamics and the success of colonization. We present the first record of the nesting of the Southern Lapwing (Vanellus chilensis) in El Salvador and a compilation of new sites of occurrence of the species. Since its first registration for the country in 2012, the species is becoming more prevalent in the country’s wetlands. The increase in sightings of this species in El Salvador and its documentation expands the know­ ledge of the distribution, establishment, and population size of this species in El Salvador.

Keywords : Avefría-Tero; Central America; range expansion; Southern Lapwing; wetlands.
