Grey-breasted Martin

The nominate race P. c. chalybea breeds from Mexico through Central America south to central Brazil, and on Trinidad. P. c. macrorhamphus breeds further south in South America to central Argentina. The southern subspecies migrates north as far as Venezuela during the southern hemisphere’s winter, and the nominate form also undertakes local movements after the breeding season.

The Grey-breasted Martin is classified as Least Concern. Does not qualify for a more at risk category. Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category.
