IBA Justification

The site was identified as important in 2010 because it was regularly supporting significant populations of the species listed below, meeting ('triggering') IBA criteria.

Populations meeting IBA criteria ('trigger species'):
Species Current IUCN Red List Category Season Year(s) Population estimate at site IBA criteria met
Chilean Pigeon Patagioenas araucana LC resident - present A2, A3
Magellanic Woodpecker Campephilus magellanicus LC resident - present A3
Austral Parakeet Enicognathus ferrugineus LC resident - present A3
