BIRDS
PRELIMINARY CUMULATIVE LIST OF THE BIRD’S FAUNA OBSERVED IN THE REGION OF POCONÉ-MT TOWN-BR
The list that follows was done by Antônio Silveira R. dos Santos, in a visit to the region of Poconé (MT), more exactly at the Km 32 of Transpantaneira Thruway, near Cuiaba, Mato Grosso do Sul’s state.
The birds were observed among 6 and 9 of August 1999, in a total of 18 hours and 30 minutes of observing, helped by a binnacle. The birds’ identification was helped by photos, sound’s records and filming.
There were observed 161 species. It’s thought that there are a lot of species in this place that weren’t found by us in the short observing time, but the following list give us an idea of the richness of the place’s bird’s fauna, being as basis for future observing. The list follows bellow:
