CHAPARRO-HERRERA, Sergio; LOPERA-SALAZAR, Andrea  e  STILES, F. Gary. Birds of the department of Cundinamarca, Colombia: state of knowledge, new records and gaps of information. Biota colombiana [online]. 2018, vol.19, n.1, pp.160-189. ISSN 0124-5376.  https://doi.org/10.21068/c2018.v19n01a11.

The department of Cundinamarca in Colombia is an area with diverse geographic and ecosystemic characteristics, a condition that makes it one of the regions in the country with highest diversity of birds. This study updates the list of birds in the department, as well as identifies changes in composition and gaps of information, through the recopilation of field data developed by the authors from 1990 to 2015, revision of different papers and databases, and consultation of experienced birdwatchers in the region. We found 941 records of bird species, of which 24 are endemic, 72 near endemic, 1 extinct, 39 nationally threatened, 101 migratory, and 45 present local and/or altitudinal migration. Of the total number of records, 701 correspond to the authors in 45 localities (48 are new records for the department). We note that there are gaps of information in departmental boundaries, especially in the region of the Magdalena River valley and Llanos Orientales. However, regions that have been more extensively sampled are not fully inventoried since new species for science are still being found.
