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.

I’ve had a passion of photographing birds for a long time now but have only just gotten into proper birdwatching, and this app is brilliant for those just getting started. There is a great sense of community among users and the app is very easy to use and professional. Awesome app altogether
