Abstract (en):
Given the increasing urban development and loss of forest areas which have an important ecological role in maintaining regional and continental bird populations there is a need to increase our knowledge about these population changes in order to understand their internal dynamics. From September 2011 to May 2012 birds occurring at the Universidad del Valle were monitored as part of the project âUse of the habitat by transcontinental migratory birds in Universidad del Valleâs Campusâ. The information was obtained by observation transects,
mist nets, and focal tracking of individuals. A total of 1995 records were obtained, represented in 12 orders, 29 families, and 76 species. The family with the highest number of species was Tyrannidae (14), followed by Thraupidae (eight) and Parulidae (eight). Fourteen species of Nearctic migratory birds were captured and banded. This information constitutes one of the few records of morphology obtained for resident and migratory birds in urban areas in Colombia.

Dado el creciente desarrollo urbanístico y la pérdida de áreas arbóreas que desempeí±an un papel ecológico importante en el mantenimiento de poblaciones de aves regionales y continentales, se hace necesaria la información continuada para conocer su dinámica interna. Entre septiembre 2011 y mayo 2012 se monitoreó la avifauna presente en la Universidad del Valle, como parte del proyecto âUso de hábitat de las aves migratorias transcontinentales en el campus de la Universidad del Valleâ. La información se obtuvo por medio del avistamiento
de las especies a lo largo de recorridos de observación, captura con redes y seguimiento focal de individuos. Se obtuvo un total 1.995 registros, representados en 12 órdenes, 29 familias y 76 especies. La familia con mayor número de especies fue Tyrannidae (14) seguida de Thraupidae (ocho) y Parulidae (ocho). Se capturaron y anillaron 14 especies de aves migratorias neárticas. Esta información constituye uno de los pocos registros de morfología obtenida para las aves residentes y migratorias en zonas urbanas en Colombia.
