The Sinaloa Martin is a localized and relatively poorly known swallow found in western Mexico. Males are glossy blue-black, while females are duller with a gray-brown throat and breast.
Where to spot
Open areas, tropical deciduous forests, and thorn scrub in western Mexico, particularly along the Pacific slope.
How to spot
Males are dark and glossy. Females show a distinguishing gray-brown throat and breast contrasting with a whiter belly. Observe its flight high over its preferred habitat.
When to spot
Primarily a summer breeder (spring to autumn) in Mexico, likely wintering further south in Central America, though its exact wintering grounds are not fully known.
