(N.American Species # 597) Brown-Chested Martin

It's a pleasant surprise to learn that this Brown-Chested Martin is also on the ABA checklist as a code 5 North American species.

 

 

This is basically a South American species....READ MORE.

 

Disclaimer: I understand many people think that American species should only be counted when they are seen on American soil. I certainly respect that reasoning.

 

When I started counting species almost 10 years ago I had stated on my profile that " I will count birds species as N. American as long as they are on the ABA checklist ; regardless of where I'd captured them.

But I shall not count them unless they are flying....(Please read my profile.)

 

Thank you for your understanding.
