Birds from Vale do Betari

(PETAR-Parque Estadual Turístico do Alto Ribeira), Iporanga-SP

From October 29th to 31st we have been in Vale do Betari Region (Antonio Silveira with the Biologists Bruno Lima and Janaína Morais), at Parque Estadual do Alto Ribeira-PETAR, Iporanga County, São Paulo State, where we had the opportunity of having excellent observation of the local birds.

PETAR é a Conservation Unit with 35,712 ha, located at Serra do Paranapiacaba, at Iporanga (75%) and Apiai (25%) Counties, both in São Paulo State, and divided in four centers: Núcleo Santana, Núcleo Cabolcos, Núcleo Casa de Pedras and Núcleo Ouro Grosso. It's a region with many caverns (more than 300 catalogated) special for the visitation tourism of caverns and speleology study.

Betari River, having around 25 Km of extension, is the main river that passes through the Park. Certainly it is one of the most beautiful rivers that occurs into Atlantic Wood in São Paulo State.

Our observations that were concentrated in Betari Valley, Núcleo Santana, were made going through the Antonio Honório da Silva land way, that links Iporanga and Apiaí. It's interesting that the region has areas with high variation, goingo from 180 t0 800 meters, permitting the occurence of many different birds' species.

Besides being a special place for the observation caverns tourism, th region is also rich in birds species, and really easy for observing them. Also the region is a rich area of endemic Atlantic Wood birds' species, attracting the attention of birdwatchers all over the world.

There isn't an official birds checklist for the region, so our interest in visiting the place, preparing a refference birds checklist and publish its touristic potencial, helping with its educational and sustainable development, by the birds observation tourism.

There were around 18 hours of observations, making possible observing and registering the occurence of 153 species, which checklist follows. 48 species are endemic ones from Atlantic Wood and 11 species with some threaten grade, what proves its rick avifauna.
