Conteo Navideño de Aves : Antigua Guatemala 2011

El tercer Conteo Navideño de Aves en Antigua Guatemala se realizó el 18 de diciembre de 2011. Un total de 26 observardores divididos en cinco grupos contaron aves en Finca El Pilar, Finca Filadelfia, Cerro Alux, y el Volcán de Agua. Viento fuerte impedió la observación de aves nocturnas. Durante el día mejoró el tiempo.

Un total de 1380 aves de 122 especies fueron detectadas. Además, una especie más fue registrada durante la semana de conteo. Las especies más abundantes fueron (en orden descendente de abundancia): Notiochelidon pileata, Ptilogonys cinereus, Cardellina pusilla, Patagioenas fasciata, Turdus rufitorques, Colibri thalassinus, Setophaga townsendi, Oreothlypis peregrina, Campylorhynchus zonatus, Coragyps atratus, Cyanocorax melanocyaneus, Hylocharis leucotis, Myadestes occidentalis, Melanerpes formicivorus y Archilochus colubris.

Varias especies de aves de rango restringido de las tierras altas del norte de Centro América fueron registradas durante el Conteo Navideño de Aves, incluyendo Cardellina versicolor, Campylopterus rufus, Lampornis viridipallens, Atthis ellioti, Aspatha gularis, Cyanocorax melanocyaneus, Cyanolyca pumilo, Notiochelidon pileata, Troglodytes rufociliatus, Turdus rufitorques y Melanotis hypoleucus.

Antigua es parte del Área Importante para Aves Atitlán (IBA GT016) y este Conteo Navideño de Aves es una herramienta simple para monitorear las poblaciones de aves en esta IBA.

A continuación se presenta una lista de especies y números de individuos registrados durante el segundo Conteo Navideño de Aves en Antigua Guatemala (nomenclatura según AOU 1998 y suplementos, con la más reciente actualización de AOU 2011).
