The Tropical Forestry Center (CFT) “Pedro Antonio Pineda” (Buenaventura, Colombia), is the main academic training center with rural character at the Faculty of Forestry Engineering, University of Tolima, located at the territory of the community council of Afro-descendant communities. Between 2013 and 2017, observations were made in seven locations associated with three habitat types (open areas, forest edge and forest interior), mainly in April and September, to provide knowledge of the tropical forest birds of the CFT. In overall, 166 species were registered (20 orders and 40 taxonomic families); the order with the highest relative abundance was Passeriformes (62.6%) and the families with the highest relative abundance were Thraupidae (17.3%) and Tyrannidae (8.9%). There were 22 species nearly endemic and 31 with migratory status; from a regional context, most of the birds were recorded in open areas (44 species) followed by forest edge species (42 species).
