Abstract

The Crested Guan (Penelope purpurascens) is globally decreasing and endangered in Mexico. Here we report new records (8 adults and 2 juveniles) from a protected relict maple forest (critically endangered Acer binzayedii) in Parque Estatal Bosque de Arce (PEBA), Talpa de Allende, Jalisco, Mexico. Our results confirm the continuous presence of the Crested Guan over the last 2 years and the existence of reproductive activity in the study area. Our results also highlight the relevance of the species in this fragile, imperiled habitat.
