BIRDS
Some birding places and its checklists
Comandatuba Island - Una (BA)
Preliminary and Cumulative checklist of the observed birds in Comandatuba Island-Una-BA
Comandatuba Island is in South Bahia, mainly at Una County, and besides the antropic interference, with centenary plantations of centenary coconuts, there still are mangrove swamps, restinga and swamps, where exists a lot of birds species.
Developing a project of avifauna raising from the island, I've been (Antonio Silveira) in the place, from February 5th to 15th, 2004, lodged at Transamerica Hotel - Comandatuba Island, for orientation and restruturation of birding in the hotel, resulting the preliminary list that follows, in a total of 84 species.
By the project, we have returned to the place in November 2004 and January 2007, and in some more observing time we have actualized the checklist for 112 species.
Here follows the English, scientific and Portuguese names, following Helmut Sick (1997) systematic
