Abstract

We present new information on 12 species of birds from the state of Hidalgo, Mexico. Five species are considered new to the state of Hidalgo: fulvous whistling-duck (Dendrocygna bicolor), mottled duck (Anas fulvigula), Clark's grebe (Aechmophorus clarkii), magnificent frigatebird (Fregata magnificens), and yellow-headed parrot (Amazona oratrix). Prior to this study, these species were unknown in the state of Hidalgo. In addition, we present new information on seven species previously recorded from the state of Hidalgo: Virginia rail (Rallus limicola), russet-naped wood-rail (Aramides albiventris), upland sandpiper (Bartramia longicauda), scissor-tailed flycatcher (Tyrannus forficatus), Cassin's sparrow (Peucaea cassinii), Brewer's sparrow (Spizella breweri), and white-crowned sparrow (Zonotrichia leucophrys). Researchers have not recorded the upland sandpiper (B. longicauda) in Hidalgo in more than 100 years. Other species, such as the Virginia rail (R. limicola), and the russet-naped wood-rail (A. albiventris), have only received ambiguous references in the literature.
