Abstract
In June 1975, we made the first dry (winter) season observations of puna birds in the Province of Azángaro, Department of Puno, southern Peru, adding nine species to the avifaunal list for the area. We observed no trochilids although they are known to be numerous during the wet (summer) season. Nesting of the Golden-spotted Ground-Dove (Metriopelia aymara) is described for the first time from Peru, and we report the breeding on the puna of two puna species that have been recorded on the coast in the dry season. We discuss altitudinal migration to the Pacific coast during the dry season, and include a species list for this puna region.
