Birds, Quindío Department, Central Andes of Colombia

Abstract

We present an avifaunal list for the department of Quindío, Colombia. Data were compiled from our original fieldwork, museum online databases, and literature. The list includes 543 species, of which 34 are in some threatened category, 28 are Colombian endemics or semi-endemics, 44 are migrants, and 26 are new records for this region. Eleven species are represented only by museum vouchers from the first part of the 20th century and could be considered putatively extirpated in Quindío.
