New distributional and temporal bird records from Chihuahua, Mexico
(Bulletin of the British Ornithologists' Club, 2016-03) Moreno Contreras, Israel; Mondaca, Fernando; Robles Morales, Jaime; Jurado, Manuel; Cruz, Javier; Alvidrez, Alonso; Robles Carrillo, Jaime
Summary.—We present noteworthy records from Chihuahua, northern Mexico, including several first state occurrences (e.g. White Ibis Eudocimus albus, Red shouldered Hawk Buteo lineatus) or species with very few previous state records (e.g. Tricoloured Heron Egretta tricolor, Baltimore Oriole Icterus galbula). We also report the first Chihuahuan records of Red-tailed Hawk Buteo jamaicensis harlani and ‘White-winged’ Dark-eyed Junco Junco hyemalis aikeni (the latter only the second Mexican record). Other records improve our knowledge of the distribution of winter visitors to the Chihuahuan Desert ecoregion that formerly were considered transients, including several parulids. Our field work has also improved knowledge of the distribution of certain Near Threatened (e.g. Snowy Plover Charadrius nivosus) and Vulnerable species (e.g. Pinyon Jay Gymnorhinus cyanocephalus). We also confirmed various breeding localities for Yellow-crowned Night Heron Nyctanassa violacea in Chihuahua.
Ecología de la vegetación del desierto chihuahuense
(Revista Chapingo Serie Ciencias Forestales y del Ambiente, 2011) Granados Sánchez, Diódoro; Sánchez González, Arturo; Granados Victorino Ro Linnx; Borja de la Rosa, Amparo
The Chihuahuan Desert (CD), the largest in the Americas, is flanked by mountains that prevent wet winds from blowing across it; those mountain ranges are the Sierra Madre Oriental, the Trans- Mexican Volcanic Belt and the Sierra Madre Occidental in Mexico, and the Rockies in the United States. The desert covers an area of 507,000 km2, stretching from New Mexico and Texas in the United States to parts of the states of Chihuahua, Coahuila, Durango, Guanajuato, Hidalgo, Nuevo León, Querétaro, San Luis Potosi, Tamaulipas and Zacatecas in Mexico. Field work consisted of the qualitative characterization of the main vegetation types in the CH, based on their physiognomy and the collection of plant specimens for later identification. With the composition and physiognomy data, semi-realistic profiles were made of the main plant associations and the physiographic and soil conditions where they thrive. The associations detected were: Larrea tridentata microphyll scrub, Agave lechuguilla rosette scrub, Dasylirion spp. rosette scrub, grassland, chaparral, nopalera (a patch of prickly pears), mesquite, yucca, dune vegetation and halophytic vegetation.
Uso histórico y actual de la Laguna de Bustillos, Chihuahua, por aves acuáticas

Primer registro de la cotorra argentina (Myiopsitta monachus) en Chihuahua, México
(Huitzil Revista Mexicana de Ornitología, 2014) Soto Cruz, Ricardo Abel; Lebgue Keleng, Toutcha; Espinoza Prieto, José Roberto; Quintana Martínez, Rey Manuel; Quintana Martínez, Gustavo; Balderrama, Salvador; Zamudio Mondragón, Francisco Ricardo; Quintana Chávez, Manuel Alejandro; Mondaca Fernández, Fernando
We report the first record of Monk Parakeet (Myiopsitta monachus) in the cities of Chihuahua and Delicias in Chihuahua, Mexico. From June to December of 2011 we observed five individuals of this species at the premises of the Facultad de Zootecnia y Ecología of the Universidad Autonóma de Chihuahua; groups of 2 to 12 individuals in the urban area of the city of Chihuahua in 2012, and four individuals in the city of Delicias, 80 km southeast the city of Chihuahua, in 2013. Previously, in January 2011, a sighting of a single individual in the northwest of the state was reported in the electronic portal aVerAves. Given the presence of active nests in the cities of Chihuahua and Delicias, the species may be already established on this part of the country. We recommend the follow up of the existing populations to document the possible risks for the ecosystems in the region.
Primer registro de chipe garganta amarilla (Setophaga dominica) en el estado de Chihuahua, México
(Huitzil Revista Mexicana de Ornitología, 2017-04-02) González Carrasco, Luis Gerardo
I report the first confirmed record of the Yellow-throated Warbler (Setophaga dominica) for the state of Chihuahua, Mexico, at Aldama city, 29 km (30 min) from the capital of the state between January 4th to February 2nd, 2016. This first record improves about knowledge of birdlife and increases the bird-presence list inside the limits of the state.
