Abstract

The article discusses a survey of the seabird colonies in the small islands of Bahía Santa Marí-La Reforma, Sinaloa, Mexico during the breeding seasons from 2010 to 2012. The survey showed that Bahia Santa María had the largest breeding colonies for Laughing Gull, Royal Tern and Black Skimmer while colonies on El Rancho increased due to increased habitat availability. For reasons unknown, decrease was noted on Brown Pelican population breeding in mangrove islands.
