Abstract (en):
The Cauca department with its biogeographic diversity is one of the most diverse departments in bird species of Colombia. Looking for quantify the richness reported to the date and look at their geographical distribution, we made a information compilation about bird records in the department of Cauca by reviewing publications and ornithological collections in several world museums. We obtained a list of 1,102 species, including 18 endemic spp., 96 north migratory spp. and 41 nationally endangered spp.. This check list is a suitable tool for bird study in Cauca and is a reference to understand different bird topics in southwestern Colombia.

El Cauca con su diversidad biogeográfica es uno de los departamentos más diversos en especies de aves en Colombia. En busca de cuantificar la riqueza reportada hasta ahora y observar su distribución geográfica, realizamos una compilación de información existente sobre registros de especies de aves en el departamento del Cauca mediante la revisión de publicaciones y colecciones ornitológicas en diferentes museos del mundo. Se obtuvo un listado de 1,102 especies, que incluye 18 spp. endémicas, 96 spp. migratorias boreales y 41 spp. consideradas en peligro de extinción a nivel nacional. Este listado constituye una herramienta adecuada para el estudio de las aves en el Cauca y es un referente para entender diferentes aspectos de la avifauna en el suroccidente colombiano.
