HILEY, Jonathan. First records of Black Tern Childonias niger, Willet Tringa semipalmata, and Snowy Plover Charadrius nivosus for the state of Queretaro, central Mexico. Huitzil [online]. 2012, vol.13, n.1, pp.54-56. ISSN 1870-7459.

I present the first records of Black Tern, Willet and Snowy Plover for the state of Queretaro. Each of these species was found at the ‘El Centenario’ reservoir in Tequisquiapan during 2010-2011. These records highlight the potential importance of reservoirs on Mexico’s central plateau for a wide variety of birds.
