The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation in 2006 because it was regularly supporting significant populations of the species listed below, meeting IBA criteria.
Populations meeting IBA criteria ('key species') at the site:Species | Red List | Season (year/s of estimate) | Size | IBA criteria |
---|---|---|---|---|
Sickle-winged Nightjar Eleothreptus anomalus | VU | resident (-) | present | A1 |
Rusty-barred Owl Strix hylophila | LC | resident (-) | present | A1 |
Mottled Piculet Picumnus nebulosus | NT | resident (-) | 30 individuals | A1 |
Yellow-browed Woodpecker Piculus aurulentus | NT | resident (-) | present | A1 |

Marsh Seedeater Sporophila palustris | EN | non-breeding (-) | present | A1 |
Black-bellied Seedeater Sporophila melanogaster | NT | non-breeding (-) | present | A1 |
Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2006. The most recent assessment (2024) is shown below.
