Avifauna of the Bañados de Añatuya, Important Bird Area (IBA) of Santiago del Estero, Argentina

Abstract

In this work we present the avifauna of the Bañados de Añatuya, Santiago del Estero. Three campaigns of three days each were held in October 2012, March 2013 and June 2014. We identified 56 species, 20 migratory (15 regional and five Neartic-Neotropical) and the remaining residents. We determined five trophic assemblages according to bird’s foraging strategies: I- swim on the surface, II- diving or plunging, III- walking on beaches or waters shallow, IV- from perches or in flight, V- moving between the vegetation. Because the birds are an indicator group and the Bañados de Añatuya an Important Bird Area (IBA), it is important to continue the studies to establish guidelines for management and conservation in the region.
