The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation in 2010 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 |
---|---|---|---|---|
Chilean Tinamou Nothoprocta perdicaria | LC | resident (2010) | frequent | A2 |
Moustached Turca Pteroptochos megapodius | LC | breeding (2010) | frequent | A2 |
White-throated Tapaculo Scelorchilus albicollis | LC | resident (2010) | frequent | A2 |
Crag Earthcreeper Ochetorhynchus melanurus | LC | breeding (2008) | present | A2 |
Dusky-tailed Canastero Pseudasthenes humicola | LC | breeding (2008) | present | A2 |
Chilean Mockingbird Mimus thenca | LC | resident (2010) | common | A2 |
Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2010. The most recent assessment (2014) is shown below.
