New bird records from Guadeloupe and Martinique, West Indies

Feldmann P., Benito Espinal E., Keith A.R.. 1999. Journal of Field Ornithology, 70 (1) : p. 80-94.

Relatively little new bird distribution data from the French-speaking Lesser Antillean islands of Martinique and Guadeloupe has been published in the English language literature for twenty years. The status of 62 species is reviewed here with emphasis on those species whose status differs from that portrayed in the 1998 American Ornithologists' Union Check-list. Several species not heretofore recorded from or previously found breeding in these islands are documented. Photographs ofrecord for eleven species have been deposited at VIREO.
