Presentación

Presentamos la primera lista de Aves para Costa Rica elaborada por la

Unión de Ornitólogos de Costa Rica, la cual incluye un total de 898 especies

de aves. Esto representa la mayor abundancia de aves para el país hasta el día

de hoy. Esta lista incluye todos los registros históricos y actuales,

convirtiéndose en la lista más completa y actualizada de Costa Rica. Con esta

estamos presentado la sexta actualización de la lista de la Unión. Esta lista

sigue la clasificación taxonómica sugeridos por la AOU, sin embargo nosotros

reconocemos a Colinus leucopogon como una especie diferente de C.

cristatus, basados en diferencias morfológicas y de canto.

Esta actualización se debe a la observación de un macho de

Ramphocelus flammigerus (Flame-rumped Tanager) en Tortuguero, por parte

de Luis Miguel Cruz Comparaz, el 01 de febrero de 2012. Más información de

la observación y fotos de la misma se encuentran en la web de la Unión de

Ornitólogos de Costa Rica

(http://uniondeornitologos.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&

catid=8&id=358&Itemid=66#362).

Elaboramos la lista en un formato de Lista de Registro o Check list,

para facilitar su uso como una herramienta de registro de sus observaciones.

El número en paréntesis a la par del nombre de la familia representa el total de

especies de esa familia en Costa Rica. Esta es el resultado de las

observaciones de muchas personas en el país, gracias a ellos es que esta lista

crece. Por lo tanto si usted observa una especie de aves que no esté incluida en

esta lista le agradecemos que nos haga llegar la información así como la

evidencia de su registro (foto o grabación) para incluirla en la lista, a nuestro

correo: uniondeornitologoscr@gmail.com. Esta lista se mantendrá en

constante actualización, por lo que es bueno que estén revisando nuestra

página web (www.uniondeornitologos.org) periódicamente para enterarse de

los cambios y actualizaciones.
