Birds of Guadualito

Español

Guadualito is the ideal place for bird watching in Colombia’s Coffee Growing Area. At least 155 bird species have been inventoried in the reserve,

including seven woodpeckers, seven parrots, four pigeons and ten hummingbirds. Many of these birds are not found in neighboring areas that do not

offer the wilderness conditions they require. One of our jewels is the Grayish Piculet (Picumnus granadensis), a minute woodpecker endemic to

a small area in western Colombia. Another jewel is the gorgeous and unpredictable Ruby-topaz hummingbird (Chrysolampis mosquitus), which is a

common visitor to our gardens. Most birds identified so far have been put together in posters and identification guides that are useful tools for nature lovers.
