Nuevos registros de aves en Vallegrande, Santa Cruz, Bolivia

Abstract

In Bolivia there are many information gaps on bird biodiversity, with the development of new research and exploration of sites in recent years, new records and expansion of distribution of many bird species have been found. During the bird surveys in the Huertamayo locality of the Vallegrande province, we recorded four species of birds that are little known for the department of Santa Cruz, where the distribution of the Leque Leque Andino (or Tero Serrano; Vanellus resplendens), Yaka Yaka (or Andean Woodpecker; Colaptes rupicola), Plumbian Fringe (or Plumbian Yal; Geopizopsis unicolor) in the department, and the first record of Grey-bellied Muleteer (or Brown Gaucho; Agriornis micropterus) was reported, these reports contribute to the knowledge of the distribution of the bird life in the country.
