Data Zone
The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation in 2008 because it was regularly supporting significant populations of the species listed below, meeting ('triggering') IBA criteria.
Populations meeting IBA criteria ('trigger species') at the site:| Species | Red List | Season (year/s of estimate) | Size | IBA criteria |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rufous-vented Chachalaca Ortalis ruficauda | LC | resident (2003) | present | A3 |
| Orinoco Goose Neochen jubata | NT | resident (1992–2008) | frequent | A1 |
| Dwarf Cuckoo Coccycua pumila | LC | resident (2003) | present | A3 |
| Pale-headed Jacamar Brachygalba goeringi | LC | resident (2003) | present | A3 |
| Two-banded Puffbird Hypnelus bicinctus | LC | resident (2003) | present | A3 |
| Scaled Piculet Picumnus squamulatus | LC | resident (2003) | present | A3 |
| White-bearded Flycatcher Phelpsia inornata | LC | resident (2003) | present | A3 |
| Stripe-backed Wren Campylorhynchus nuchalis | LC | resident (2003) | present | A3 |
| Orinocan Saltator Saltator orenocensis | LC | resident (2003) | present | A3 |
Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2008. The most recent assessment (2008) is shown below.
