Black-chested Sparrow

Peucaea humeralis

The Black-chested Sparrow, known scientifically as Peucaea humeralis, is a modestly adorned bird that calls the family Passerellidae its own. This avian species is a unique resident of Mexico, where it flits and forages within its preferred environments.

Identification Tips

When endeavoring to identify the Black-chested Sparrow, one should look for its defining characteristic: a stark black patch adorning its chest. This feature is set against a backdrop of more subdued plumage, typical of the species' overall understated elegance.

Habitat

The Black-chested Sparrow is quite particular about its habitat, favoring the subtropical or tropical dry shrubland, as well as the subtropical or tropical high-altitude shrubland. These environments provide the ideal conditions for the sparrow to thrive.

Distribution

Endemic to Mexico, the Black-chested Sparrow is a bird that has adapted to the specific climatic and geographical nuances of its home country. It is not found beyond these borders, making it a special target for birdwatchers visiting the region.

Conservation status

BirdLife International has assessed the Black-chested Sparrow and bestowed upon it the status of Least Concern. This indicates that, for the time being, the species does not face imminent threats that could jeopardize its survival.

A Friendly Place
I love using the bird app, I have a pretty good knowledge of birds. But I do have some gaps in it, so it’s nice to have a safe space to check on a sighting to confirm the species. It’s really enjoyable and I love the badges you can collect. It’s like a real life Pokémon go.

The best bird logging app
Birda is honestly the best bird logging app I have seen. I love all the features it has from being able to do a session and log all the birds you see in one sitting, to being able to connect with other birders from all over the globe!

Makes you want to spot birds more
I think this app is fun. It makes you want to spot birds more so I guess in a way it encourages you to get out and about instead of sitting in front of the TV.
