Abstract

Were recorded five aditional of breeding waterbirds in two freshwarer artificial ponds, adjacents to La Paz City, Baja California Sur, México, more three previosly registered (Tachybaptus dominicus, Himantopus mexicanus and Recurvirostra americana) in the oxidation lagoons (OL) and El Centenario reservoir (CR). We visited both areas between May/98 and December/98. Were observed: Podylimbus podiceps (OL and CR) and Charadrius vociferus (OL).
