Noteworthy bird records from central Sinaloa, Mexico
We report noteworthy bird records of Anous stolidus, Stellula calliope, Sphyrapicus varius, Myiopagis viridicata, Dendroica pensylvanica and Pheucticus ludovicianus from central Sinaloa, most of them obtained during mist net surveys. At first sight the records seem to be vagrants, but the severe habitat modification of Sinaloa's coastal zone could be facilitating the dispersal of some species. The absence of previous records for some of these species in Sinaloa might be due to low observation effort rather than to increases in the distribution range for these species.
