BIRDS

Preliminary and Cumulative Birds' Checklist from São Francisco Xavier/ SP

 

 

 

Here follows the birds' checklist ellabored by Antonio Silveira from São Francisco Xavier City (subdistrict of São José dos Campos), São Paulo State, into the federal Environmental Protection Area of Bacia do Paraíba do Sul.

 

This area is so valuable by its biodiversity, because there is rare Brazilian bird species habitat, and not only birds, but also mammals. Up to now we have already observed 190 birds' secies.

 

Before starting our observations, we have done a heli flight on the region (Antonio Silveira e Rafael), for having an idea from the area dimension.

 

The registers are being done by the use of binnacles, and when it is possible, with recordings, pictures and vocalizations records.

 

Bellow follows a checklist from the observed birds (up to now it was done by observations at Mandala Farm, Monteverde Farm and the sudisdritic urban areas), remembering that it is cumulative, and, so, will be enlarged by new registers.

 

Scientific, Portuguese and English names.
