MACGREGOR-FORS, Ian; NAVARRO-SIGUENZA, Adolfo G.; MORALES-PEREZ, Lorena  and  SCHONDUBE, Jorge E.. Note on the distribution and migration of the Black-capped Vireo (Vireo atricapilla). Huitzil [online]. 2012, vol.13, n.1, pp.17-21. ISSN 1870-7459.

Little is known about the migration of the Black-capped Vireo (Vireo atricapilla). In this short communication we report a sight-record of an adult male Black-capped Vireo in northeastern Michoacán and several distribution records outside the proposed distribution for this species. Altogether, these records suggest that the species uses the Sierra Madre Oriental and the Transvolcanic Mexican Belt for migration.

Keywords : migration route; conservation; Vireonidae.
