BETANCUR, Jefry; MARTINEZ ALVARADO, Dariel; RIVERA GUTIERREZ, Héctor Fabio  and  PARRA, Juan. Avifauna en dos complejos de páramo de Antioquia, Colombia. Biota colombiana [online]. 2019, vol.20, n.1, pp.91-105. ISSN 0124-5376.  https://doi.org/10.21068/c2019.v20n01a06.

We characterized bird communities in two paramo complexes (Frontino-Urrao and Sonsón) in the department of Antioquia, Colombia, including the transition zones and the upper boundaries of cloud forests. We recorded 197 bird species (40 families), of which 7 presented some threat category, 1 is almost threatened, 5 are endemic, 15 near endemic, 4 boreal migratory species and 1 austral migratory species. We point out 12 species that are relevant, either due to their degree of national threat or because they represent geographic or altitudinal range extensions.

Keywords : Birds; Central Andes Mountain Range; Frontino-Urrao; High mountain ecosystems; Sonsón; Western Andes Mountain Range.
