Caracterización de la avifauna del corregimiento el aro cuenca media del río Cauca

Abstract

The knowledge about the Aro Corregimiento birdlife, located in the municipality of Ituango, Antioquia, middle Cauca river basin, presents information gaps since no research has been conducted on wild birds in this place. The closest work corresponds to the Environmental Impact Study carried out in 2011 by EPM, through the INTEGRAL company as a requirement to comply with the environmental license granted for the construction of the HidroItuango hydroelectric plant; However, although this work was carried out in the municipalities of influence of the mega project, including Ituango, the El Aro district was not incorporated between the sampling areas. The species registered in the El Aro district, and which are associated with forests and areas of agricultural use, are composed of 83 species, including 25 families, where 7 migratory species, 3 species with threat category, 1 endemic species and 3 almost endemic species. It would be appropriate to conduct more ornithological studies in this area, with which it is possible to contribute to broadening knowledge and information about species in different habitats, both in migratory and non-migration times and in different climatic seasons; For the above, it is suggested to carry out more scientific studies where techniques such as captures with fog networks, linear transects and censuses from fixed radius points are incorporated.
