NOTES: NOTEWORTHY AVIFAUNAL RECORDS FROM THE BAJA CALIFORNIA PENINSULA, MEXICO

Abstract

We traveled to the Baja California Peninsula in April 2001, adding 11 biogeographically or seasonally noteworthy records, 10 of which are supported with specimens. Specimens collected were deposited in the ornithological collection of the Museo de Zoología “Alfonso L. Herrera,” Facultad de Ciencias, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, in Mexico City.

We visited the following four localities (Figure 1) on the specified dates. Vegetation types follow Rzedowski (1978) and León de la Luz and Coria (1992).
