NOTES: NEW AND NOTEWORTHY BIRD RECORDS FROM BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO, OCTOBER 1991

Abstract

From 9 to 16 October 1991 we visited Baja California, south to Punta Eugenia in northern Baja California Sur. During this period we encountered several notable species, including five previously unreported from the peninsula. Our most surprising discovery was of an Arctic Warbler (Phylloscopus borealis) at a remote desert ranch; we have detailed this remarkable record in another note in this issue (Pyle and Howell 1993). Here we discuss other species of interest seen on this trip.
