At the ‘Rio Blanco’ reservation, there have been found –up to date, 335 varieties of birds. It has been thought that, because of the particular characteristics of the landscape –known as mosaic, as well as because of the wide altitude gradient, the number of species could be greater. The reservation gathers species that are unique of this region in the country. Nine of them are threatened to be extinct and have found in the reservation an opportunity to survive.
Our project is the elaboration of the ‘Practical Guide for the identification of the birds at ‘Rio Blanco’. Some aspects included this guides are: birds identification, recognition of number of species, migrant movements in time and space, nutritional habits and habitat.

En la reserva de Río Blanco se han identificado hasta el momento especies de aves. Se piensa que, dadas las características de "mosaico" que presenta el paisaje de la reserva y el amplio gradiente altitudinal que cubre, el número de especies puede ser mayor. La reserva alberga especies de aves únicas en esta región de Colombia. Nueve de ellas están en peligro de extinción y han encontrado en la reserva una de las últimas oportunidades de perpetuar la especie.

Adelantamos la elaboración de la "Guía Práctica de identificación en el campo de las aves de Río Blanco". Identificar las aves, saber cuántas especies hay, sus hábitos alimenticios, los movimientos migratorios en el tiempo y el espacio, su requerimiento de hábitat, son algunos de los aspectos que se abordarán a través de este proyecto.
