LONDONO-BETANCOURTH, Juan Carlos. A LOOK AT THE ORNITHOLOGICAL DIVERSITY IN PEREIRA. Bol. Cient. Mus. Hist. Nat. Univ. Caldas [online]. 2011, vol.15, n.1, pp.84-103. ISSN 0123-3068.

In this study, an inventory of the wild birds in the urban and suburban areas of the city of Pereira (Risaralda) was made, based on the bibliographic reports for the area, fieldwork and a review of ornithological collections. A list including 203 bird species recorded in the area of study was presented, from which 130 bird species were recorded during fieldwork. Additionally 150 genres and 47 families were identified. The species record was made using primary information sources (fieldwork) and secondary sources (bibliographic research). Two species were registered in field that had not been reported in bibliographic sources consulted about the wild birds in the city of Pereira. A total of 9 species were identified under some degree of threat. 25 migratory species were recorded. Four species of almost endemic birds that share their endemic condition with Colombian neighboring countries were observed. It is discussed and concluded that in spite of the degree of anthropic intervention proper from urban ecosystems, there still exist natural and constituted areas that can host populations of wild birds. Similarly urban birds have a very wide tolerance rank to put up with the environmental stress caused by human activity.
