SUMMARY
Locality records are given for each of 136 species of birds represented
by 493 specimens and sight records are given for eight additional
species.
The Yellow-headed Vulture is reported apparently for the first time
from the peninsula. The specimens of the Streak-headed Woodhewer and
the Louisiana Waterthrush are the second ones of each species taken on
the peninsula. The Purple Martin taken on August 14, the Barn Swallow
on August 18, and the Louisiana Waterthrush on August 14 represent
earliest known autumn dates for these transients.
Evidence for breeding is given for 20 species for the first time and
extensions of the known breeding seasons are presented for 41 species.
Fourteen genera, representing about 19 species, of Mallophaga are
reported for 20 different species of bird hosts.
At Piste and Puerto Juarez, species of birds such as the Blue
Honeycreeper and the Red-capped Manakin, normally thought of as
characteristic of more humid areas, were found breeding in numbers near
_cenotes_. However, they were not seen to venture far into the
surrounding deciduous forest. The availability of suitable habitat
brought on by the rainy season and the regular occurrence of _cenotes_
helps to explain the presence of such species far outside the Rain
Forest zone.
