Endemic and threatened species recorded in the Rio Coello watershed (Tolima) during rapid surveys in 2003
Keywords:
Coello watershed, Colombia, distribution, endemic and threatened birds, TolimaAbstract
We recorded seven endemic and/or threatened species (Anthocephala floriceps, Leptotila conoveri, Chloropipo flavicapilla, Myiarchus apicalis, Euphonia concinna, Habia cristata and Leptosittaca branickii, Atlapetes flaviceps) in the watershed of the Coello River (Tolima) in 2003 between elevations of 430 m and 2440 m. We identified the habitat characteristics of the areas where we recorded them. Several of these records represent range extensions in this region. The presence of five endemic species in the Combeima river drainage, especially in the Cay Creek area between 1700 and 2400 m, demonstrates the importance of this sector for the conservation of endemic and threatened birds.
