MACOUZET, Tania  and  ESCALANTE-PLIEGO, Patricia. New bird records for Cozumel Island found in scientific collections. Rev. Mex. Biodiv. [online]. 2013, vol.84, n.1, pp.392-396. ISSN 2007-8706.  https://doi.org/10.7550/rmb.31176.

We report here 4 new bird records found among a large-scale compilation of specimen records in museums worldwide, Atlas de las Aves de Mexico. The new records are for 4 migratory species, Empidonax alnorum (Alder Flycatcher), Vireo solitarius (Solitary Vireo), Catharus fuscescens (Veery), and Zonotrichia leucophrys (White-crowned Sparrow). These species are not to-date known from Cozumel, although they are considered transients in the Yucatán Peninsula.
