Abstract (en):
Within the framework of the project âInputs for the delimitation of strategic ecosystems: páramos and wetlandsâ, was carried out the characterization of bird life of the páramo complex âLos Picachosâ. This complex makes part of the more isolated high-Andean forest and páramo ecosystems in the southern of the eastern mountain range in Colombia. The high-mountain birdlife of the âserranía de los Picachosâ it has maintained unexplored mainly for public order difficulties that made hard to get information belonging to these areas. This study is the first to achieve the exploration of the area in San Vicente del Caguán municipality, located between 2900 - 3100 m a.s.l. therefore, it represents the first findings about birdlife composition of high mountain of the mountain system. 97 species were identified, of which four are included in any category of danger and three are new records for south of eastern Andes. This allows the knowledge of geographic distribution of reported species in this part of the country.
Abstract (es):
En el marco del proyecto âInsumos para la delimitación de ecosistemas estratégicos: páramos y humedalesâ se realizó la caracterización de la avifauna del complejo de páramos Los Picachos que hace parte de los ecosistemas de bosque altoandino y de páramo más aislados del sur de la cordillera Oriental en Colombia. La comunidad de aves de alta montaña de la serranía de Los Picachos se ha mantenido inexplorada principalmente por dificultades de orden público que hacen difícil obtener información biológica de estas áreas. El presente estudio consiguió efectuar un acercamiento al área en el municipio de San Vicente del Caguán entre los 2900 y los 3100 m s.n.m. y pesenta los primeros hallazgos sobre la composición de la avifauna de alta montaña de la serranía. Se identificaron 97 especies de las cuales cuatro están incluidas bajo alguna categoría de amenaza y tres corresponden a nuevos registros para el sur de la cordillera Oriental. Así, se amplía el conocimiento de la distribución geográfica de las especies reportadas en esta parte del país.
