Gray-breasted Martin

Progne chalybea

 

This is one of the most commonly encountered hirundines in northern Central America. They are found throughout the region, though are absent from the southern highlands of Guatemala and Honduras. They are particularly common in towns and cities, where they often form large roosts. According to Howell and Webb, the birds in northern Guatemala are only summer visitors and winter further south.
