Abstract (en):
Baseline information is a priority for conservation plans of protected areas, especially when they are of great importance for the maintenance of biodiversity. In order to increase the knowledge about Fúquene River watershed (Cundinamarca, Colombia), we carried out a characterization of the avifauna with local communities. We visited the area eight times (May-August 2012), covering 15 observation points in different land covers: Grassland and paramo, riparian forest, high Andean forest, low Andean forest, dense scrub, and plantation. We found 53 species of birds, of which two are endemic to Colombia: Silvery-throated Spinetail (Synallaxis subpudica), found in four types of habitats, and the Rufous-browed Conebill (Conirostrum rufum), found only in Andean forest. The avifauna recorded in this study, is an indicator of the importance of the forest cover in a landscape transformed and base line to establish the management tools.

La información de línea base es una prioridad para planes de conservación de áreas protegidas, especialmente cuando estas son de gran importancia para el mantenimiento de la biodiversidad. Para aumentar el conocimiento sobre la cuenca del río Fúquene (Cundinamarca, Colombia), se realizó una caracterización de la avifauna presente, con participación de la comunidad local. Se realizaron ocho visitas (mayo-agosto 2012) a 15 puntos de observación de aves, establecidos en diferentes coberturas: herbazal frailejonal de páramo, bosque de galería y ripario, bosque denso alto y bajo, arbustal denso y plantación forestal. Se encontraron 53 especies de aves, dos de área restringida en Colombia, el chamicero (Synallaxis subpudica), presente en los cuatro tipos de hábitat, y el picocono (Conirostrum rufum), presente en bosque altoandino. La avifauna registrada en este estudio es un indicador de la importancia de las coberturas vegetales en un paisaje transformado y sirve de línea base para establecer herramientas de manejo del mismo.
